Black communities across the country have been marginalized due to red lining and segregation dating back to the 1930s, and healthcare outcomes in 2021 are still impacted, especially post-pandemic. This webinar will explore innovative healthcare design for a community of color on Chicago, Illinois' south side. Roderic Walton, Principal of MOODY NOLAN—a firm which was the winner of the 2021 AIA National Architecture Firm Award—will explore how designers can develop creative solutions to overcome the resulting disparity in today's healthcare landscape. The conversation will focus on the concept of the advocate architect and will also feature recent design solutions from architectural graduate students at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Finally, recommended steps for the evolution of this type of design approach and practice will be identified.

 

Learning Objectives

  • Define equitable access as it relates to population health.
  • Identify how to use core design principles to address the social determinants of health.
  • Evaluate economic disparity, its root causes and planning and design strategies to overcome it.
  • Explore community engagement and partnership opportunities for professional practice.

Many attendees of The Center for Health Design’s webinars have inquired about IDCEC approval so they can earn ASID, IIDA, and IDS CEU’s. We have looked into this and unfortunately, the cost to upload courses to IDCEC is simply too high at this time. You can still earn credit for attending our webinars by requesting a verification certificate. As of July 9, 2020, The Center for Health Design requires a CEU management fee for verification certificates for all webinars and EBD Journal Clubs. Please contact Natalie Gonzalez, Project Manager, ngonzalez@healthdesign.org.
