GREEN BAY – The Bellin Health Surgery & Specialty Center (SSC), which recently celebrated its first anniversary, has received The Center for Health Design Platinum Touchstone Award, along with its partner, HGA.
The Touchstone Awards, per the announcement, recognizes evidence-based design processes that demonstrate achievements in collaboration, evaluation and sharing.
Jen Macdonald – senior vice president of specialty service lines at Emplify by Bellin Health – said the collaboration from all groups, both internally and externally, “helped create an environment that takes patient care to new levels.”
The platinum level of this award, Macdonald said, honors projects that demonstrate the most impactful evidence-based design processes.
“From the start, we recognized Emplify’s commitment to making this a special project,” Andrew Zimmer – vice president and principal with HGA – said.
As part of the design process, Zimmer said HGA worked with more than 100 interdisciplinary team members to gather as much information as possible.
“Through the research, design and construction, the SSC is able to provide a space for patients to receive care for a variety of services under one roof, while providing a collaborative space for their healthcare teams,” Macdonald said. “Receiving this award recognizes not only the work done but also all the great work that will come from it.”
