Learn more and register: https://loom.ly/fT8qKTE It is clear that resilience in healthcare is a critical priority for any health system and healthcare environment. Resilience is the ability of a health system to mitigate, adapt to, and recover from shocks and stresses, (including natural disasters, political upheaval, violence, pandemic, climate crisis, etc.) A resilient health system can scale up or adapt services to address these shocks and stresses. This webinar offers a unique opportunity to hear The Center's Rosalyn Cama, Ann H. Adams AIA FACHA EDAC of Davis Partnership Architects, Michelle Trott, AIA,ACHA of Clark Patterson Lee, @Tammy Thompson of Institute for Patient-Centered Design, Inc., Adrian Morse of Smith Seckman Reid, Inc. and Michael Wood, SASHE, CHC, MSM of Medxcel share their insights on inroads made by their respective organizations (and the professions that they represent) and identify the next steps the professions can take collectively to move the needle forward. This conversation will explore the many opportunities available to leverage that collective power in the pursuit of resilient healthcare.
