Since July 2008, the healthcare interior design leaders at Perkins+Will have been authoring Contract's web-exclusive, monthly article series, "Designing for Health." With a focus on research co-authored with PhD's in 2011, we share this series of articles with the hope that you will enjoy reading about design issues, trends, challenges, and research in the healthcare industry. We invite you to read future installments of the series online at www.contractmagazine.com.
