Healthcare facilities will never be the same because of the COVID-19 pandemic. But the most important question for managers is this: In what ways will the pandemic most affect the architecture, construction, maintenance and operations of new and existing healthcare facilities?

Healthcare systems doubled down on their commitment to population health by investing in healthy buildings that incorporate sustainable design components to improve the patient experience and outcomes, reduce emissions and decrease year-over-year facility costs.
