Embracing Transformative Design to Redefine Cancer Care
Description:
Despite the courageous efforts to treat, heal and cure cancer, the disease remains the world’s second leading cause of death. While great strides have been made, there is still immense untapped potential in how we design cancer care buildings, spaces and experiences.
Many health systems stay attached to past precedents holding them back from innovation. It’s time to unleash the full power of design to empower patients, staff and communities at the forefront of our battle with cancer. This session unites leaders from renowned cancer centers to share insight and help shatter the status quo.
