Columbus’ own Chris Haedt and Angela Kolosky present ‘Is Your Emergency Department Sending an SOS?’

COLUMBUS, Ohio July -- 17, 2019 -- Two DesignGroup architects – along with their clients from Norton Brownsboro Hospital (Louisville) and Morris Hospital (Southwest Chicago metropolitan area) – will present an informative talk at the 2019 Healthcare Facilities Symposium in September. The talk will focus on how design and planning can improve emergency department efficiencies for clinical staff and patients.

The session will help attendees evaluate whether their system’s current emergency department model is working and in line with their healthcare brand and clinical goals. The group will discuss clinical innovation in emergency departments at two different healthcare systems as well as the architectural and design response to each.
