NBBJ
Great design can boost the performance of entire organizations and the creativity of individuals—but it’s also a tool to support healthier, more meaningful lives. Uplift is a new, interview-style podcast from NBBJ focused on harnessing the transformative power of design to foster community, support health and contribute to a more resilient environment.
On this episode, we are joined by child and adolescent mental health expert Dr. Susan Swick, Executive Director of the Ohana Center in Monterey, CA, and Ed Cheshire, Facilities Leader at Nationwide Children’s Hospital Big Lots Behavioral Health Pavilion in Columbus, OH, to discuss how health systems are tackling the escalating need for pediatric behavioral healthcare and how the design of treatment environments can impact the health and well-being of patients, families and staff.
Introducing Uplift, a new interview-style podcast from architecture and design firm NBBJ about the transformative power of design. Hosted by Dr. Heena Santry, our first season centers on pressing issues facing the healthcare industry today, such as provider burnout, our national mental health crisis and barriers to health equity that we face. Join us as we talk to frontline workers, healthcare leaders and community members to explore the root causes of these critical issues as well as design solutions that create healing, high performance healthcare environments.
