INSPIRATION
This industry makes meaningful change when
its leaders work together to deliver new ideas
and strategies
THIS SUMMER, MY daughter participated in a careers
pipeline initiative for high school students,
operated by the Cincinnati-based Health Collaborative.
The program is designed to introduce rising
juniors and seniors to potential healthcare careers-
from surgical and sports medicine to nursing,
pharmacy, administration, and health information
technology-and fills their summer schedules with
college and facility tours, presentations by medical
professionals, and hands-on activities, such as practicing
skills on medical mannequins.
At the end of July, parents were invited to the closing event, where students
stood up and shared their favorite memory and what they think their next step
might be-with most of them expressing an interest in a career in healthcare.
During the closing remarks, Robbin Hoopes, provost at Cincinnati State Technical
and Community College, one of the program sponsors, congratulated
the students for taking the initiative to learn about the different roles, saying
" Healthcare is a team approach. "
Back at my desk, I thought more about Hoopes' message as I dove into coverage
of our 2024 HCD 10 winners. The annual competition, now in its 13th year,
celebrates professionals in the healthcare design industry who are making
meaningful contributions to the field across a variety of roles. These honorees
stand out for their dedication, passion, and drive to deliver excellence.
But their impact isn't siloed. By participating on project teams, collaborating
with colleagues, volunteering in industry organizations, and writing/speaking/sharing
their work and research, this " team " of winners is also helping
push this industry forward, bringing new ideas and strategies to light. As you
read their profiles, starting on page 18, I hope you're as encouraged as I am by
their work and goals for the future.
Speaking of teamwork, the Healthcare Design Conference + Expo staff, including
the editorial, brand, event, marketing, and operations crews, is hard at
work finalizing this year's event as we gear up for Indianapolis Oct. 5-8. Check
out a preview of what's in store, beginning on page 32, including details on keynote
speakers, networking events, facility tours, and expo hall hours. More information,
including registration and hotel reservation details, is available at
hcdexpo.com.
While I'm sad to see the days of summer come to an end, I look forward to
gathering with all of you in Indianapolis, where we'll discuss new projects,
trends, and research to help fuel this industry's collective efforts to tackle the
challenges and opportunities ahead. 
