This facilitated workshop will challenge attendees to brainstorm how to actively engage healthcare providers, designers, and urban leaders to collaborate on how to create healthy “livable” cities while achieving cost-saving and population health management goals. The presenters have observed that prevention is as important as curing patients in improving the health and wellness of our communities. More than ever, the responsibility for healthy choices is being placed on the individual, which raises the broader question of how we can create a built environment and partnerships to better enable places to live, work, and recreate. Through multiple rounds of brainstorming sessions, this experience will blend skill sets and expertise in healthcare design, urban design, and public health awareness. Outcomes from this session will be documented and presented after HCD Expo as an online white paper. Hosted by AMFP.
