The emerging vision for healthcare focuses on wellness instead of simply treating disease. This demands a more proactive, holistic and equitable approach. Optimizing wellness requires interdisciplinary health and science facilities that bring together health science education, biomedical research and clinical care. As organizations seek to accelerate the translation of laboratory discoveries into new treatments and patient care, the lines between these building types are blurring.
HOK’s Healthcare and Science + Technology design experts work together to design these interdisciplinary, hybrid facilities for academic medical centers, research institutions and healthcare organizations. True innovation happens when educators, researchers and clinicians interact. These interactions can help improve health outcomes for patients and communities.
