On Monday, June 1st 2009 over 80 design industry professionals and students joined IIDA Northland Forums in welcoming Ana Pinto-Alexander to the Twin Cities.

Her lecture on the healing power of design included the History of the Healthcare Symposium, Planetree model for Healthcare, Evidence Base design and Pebble projects. In addition, Ana showcased projects that promote healing by incorporating design features into the environment to improve the patient, family member and staff experience and safety. Ana's energy, passion and enthusiasm for creating healing environments is truly inspirational.

Ana's bio:
President of Indianapolis-based Maregatti Interiors, Ana Pinto-Alexander has more than 20 years of experience designing interiors for the country's most progressive health care facilities. A childhood in Colombia, South America in combination with extensive international travel has influenced her unique design perspective.

Ana's extensive research in healthcare design has anchored her belief that healing environments can greatly improve the hospital experience for the patient, their family, and the medical staff. Although healthcare design is a passion, she also has created interior designs for corporate, religious, educational and retail facilities.

Ana has juried Healthcare Design magazine's Architectural Showcase and Contract magazine's Healthcare Environment Awards. She has spoken nationally and internationally on the importance the built environment has in the healing process. The recipient of numerous awards for her interior design projects, she has also been featured in several national publications, including a cover story for Interiors and Sources.
