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.
