F E A T U R E

A shortlist of 50 names was established following the nomination period from which the final public voting took place. Taking the results from this final online voting, as well as votes from our esteemed Editorial Board and our publishing partners at The Center for Health Design, we have now arrived at a final list of 25 individuals.

On this list, you'll find a veritable who's who of the healthcare design industry, from architects and interior designers to academics and researchers. While there are still some bugs to be worked out of the process, we do feel that the list is fairly representative of today's best and brightest, and we congratulate those individuals who made this final list - surely one of the most heartening and flattering forms of praise is recognition from one's peers.

If you find yourself disagreeing with the results, I encourage you to watch these pages for instructions on how to vote in next year's poll. And of course, congratulations to those outstanding individuals selected here!
