Health Forward is a collaborative convergence of industry leaders, clients, partners, and Page experts thinking what's possible for the future of healthcare. Together, we're imagining bold design solutions in an ever-evolving health landscape. Will you join us?
Children’s health is one of the most powerful and enduring investments we can make in our collective futures. That’s why children’s health warrants not only our attention but our most intentional focus. Pediatric environments present both the greatest challenges and the greatest opportunities, and for decades our teams and partners have been at the forefront of this conversation. Today, through Health Forward, we continue that leadership by looking ahead and asking—what’s next?

The second annual Health Forward symposium hosted by Page, now Stantec, centered on one primary question: What will pediatric healthcare look like in 25 years?
I love the symposium and that it brings perspectives from the advisory board, physicians, and industry experts – it’s broadening the horizon. It’s very critical for us to have this dialogue on the future of healthcare and start implementing because what we design now is going to stay for 50 years.

“Let yourself be free,” says Tushar Gupta, healthcare sector leader at Page, addressing a room full of architects, designers, and other creatives from around the country who attended a Health Forward symposium in Houston the day previous and are ready to apply what they heard. “Think where we can take some of what we heard yesterday into the future. There is a here and now, but today is about looking ahead.”
“What could healthcare look like in 100 years?” asks Page’s design director Rob McClure. “Don’t think about the things that usually impede you. Futurists are foresight practitioners and horizon scanners.”
Designers generate forward-thinking solutions related to five topics.
How can design balance breakthrough advancements in technology with the human touch?
How can design redefine our healthcare infrastructure to enhance accessibility, efficiency, and convenience?
How can design encourage healthcare’s partnership with the communities and provide medical services, education, and support for healthy living?
How can design enhance healthcare’s capability in the face of adversity while contributing to a greener and more sustainable future?
How can design unlock the full potential of cross-collaboration among healthcare providers, students, researchers, and industry?
Health Forward allows us to explore the role of the future built environment, imagine the range of exciting possibilities, and think strategically about the actions we must take to get there.
