A live, virtual, insight-filled conversation with 2022’s Environments for Aging Changemaker Award recipient Dr. Margaret Calkins.
Dialogue Details
Over the past several decades, the evolution of design for environments for aging has seen dramatic, and often times revolutionary changes that have had profound, positive impacts on the lives of older people. These changes have been shepherded by icons of the industry whose leadership has had lasting impact.
This webinar offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to hear from an internationally recognized titan in the field of environments for aging—Dr. Margaret (Maggie) Calkins, and the recipient of the 2022 Center for Health Design Changemaker Award—who will share her insights on how design of environments for people as they age has evolved and where the industry is headed.
In this casual conversation with friend and colleague, Addie Abushousheh, Maggie will share her real-world experiences and memorable stories from her career including her crusade to advocating for environments that are supportive of residents with Alzheimer’s and other dementias, advancing the field of environmental gerontology, and conducting critical research in a then male-dominated field. Most importantly, the conversation will help guide attendees towards a path forward and shed light on their view of the opportunities to positively affect trajectory and momentum of change within the industry.

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. For further details about how to self-report CEUs to IDCEC, please CLICK HERE.
**As of July 9, 2020, The Center requires a CEU management fee for AIA credits and verification certificates for all webinars and EBD Journal Clubs. Please contact Natalie Gonzalez, Project Manager, ngonzalez@healthdesign.org with any questions.
