We know that people with weakened immune systems are so much more vulnerable to the illnesses associated with infection and let’s face it, none of us go into the shower with an expectation that we might get sick. So how do we keep those shower walls clean? Well let’s think big – BIG TILES.

We know that people with weakened immune systems are so much more vulnerable to the illnesses associated with infection and let’s face it, none of us go into the shower with an expectation that we might get ill… So how do we keep those shower walls clean? Well let’s think big – BIG TILES. Porcelanosa have developed XXL Hygienic Ceramic Tiles that are 5 feet long - which means just one piece fits the wall of a shower or tub surround. XTONE Porcelain slabs are 10 feet high which means a floor to ceiling surface with no joints. Why does this matter? Well hygienic glaze will not harbor pathogen and surface impurities are easily removed to prevent build up – it is reassuring to know the evidence - INTERNATONAL STANDARDS Test ISO 10545 - Resistance to Stains - has determined these surfaces can be easily cleaned and the most difficult contaminants washed away, greatly reducing the need for aggressive chemicals. Think about this…When we unload our dishwasher our ceramic tableware is sparkling clean, sanitized and fresh to use - again and again. The principle is the same with large ceramic walls - So, when planning the shower surrounds for your facilities please send reach out to Porcelanosa at . The designer in you will love the incredible options and your specification will deliver the longest & best lifecycle value bar none.

People often think more is better. Here’s an analogy I like to use. Think of upholstery and carpet fabric like a textile; like your clothing. Because at the root, upholstery and carpet are made out of fibers just like your clothing. So when you get a stain on your clothing, you spray it with some sort of cleaner, then you agitate it and rub it in, and then you put it in the washing machine. This process includes a rinse cycle and sometimes people like to do two rinses. Then you move it to the dryer or you let it air dry. It’s the same process for textiles and carpet. The step that is most frequently missed is the rinse. Most of the time, the rinsing to get the residue off is what is missed and when that is missed, it acts as a magnet to dirt and debris and will make your upholstery or flooring dirty faster.” This and so much more on the changing face of senior living design from Laura Busalacchi on part 1 of today’s episode.

On Part 1 of today’s episode, Cheryl interviews Michael Lied, Principal & Director of Healthcare at GBBN. Cheryl and Michael had an honest and meaningful conversation about the challenges in healthcare today and what designers and architects in the industry can do to innovate. Cheryl asks Michael the question, “It’s been a long year and a half since COVID first came on the scene in this country. What have been some of the most profound changes in GBBN’s work of designing healthcare facilities that you have seen?” Michael shares, “One of the biggest changes has been the impact to our healthcare workforce and our care providers. Seeing that 25% of our care providers, in a recent survey, are considering leaving the profession is really tough.” This, and so much more on the changing face of healthcare design and architecture post COVID with Michael Lied, Principal & Director of Healthcare at GBBN, on today’s episode.

What have been some of the most profound changes at GBBN that Michael has seen? Why are 25% of our care providers considering leaving the profession and what can the healthcare design community do about it? What is one of the silver linings of the pandemic? Why has healthcare been way behind at innovating from its own industry and how can this change? Why is this an exciting time in healthcare? How can the healthcare design community help manage burnout among caregivers? Is there a new product typology in healthcare? How can architecture respond to patients and their family’s arrival to the hospital and their navigation throughout the building to help reduce stress and anxiety? Learn more about GBBN’s project, Novak Center, a pediatric center in Louisville, Kentucky that brings together the entrypoint and exit, and celebrates children. What does Michael mean when he says “It is time to stop copying other industries and it is time to start pulling our resources together and understanding the uniqueness of healthcare and how environments should operate?” Why is a waiting room always the same across the country and not purpose built? Why is it not designed for the demographic of the area? And, what barriers is this creating? How can stairs be built so more people will choose them over an elevator?

On part 2 of today’s episode, Cheryl interviews Angela Mazzi, FAIA, FACHA, EDAC and Principal at GBBN. Cheryl asks Angela the question, “What is Salutogenesis and how does it apply to healthcare?” Angela answers, “This is a term coined by medical sociologist Aaron Antonovsky. It has latin roots--saluto meaning health and genesis meaning generating. We’re all familiar with pathogenetic or disease causing, and this sort of the opposite. What Aaron Antonovsky had noticed was that the resources people had to cope in an environment affected their outcomes. Essentially the amount of stressors in their environment and the way that they could deal with things could make a difference whether they had better healing or less beneficial healing.” Learn more about how Angela and her team at GBBN apply salutogenesis and the positive outcomes that result.

What does this new position mean for Angela and her career to assume this new role? Angela co-authored the white paper, “High Volume Healthcare as a Livable Environment: Strategies from the ED” and in it she shares evidence-based strategies to improve the patient experience of high volume chaotic ED’s by promoting flow, quality of care, safety and security. Hear Angela unpack this with Cheryl. How have things changed in the ED post COVID? What is Salutogenesis and how does it apply to healthcare? How does Angela apply the ancient art and science of Feng Shui to her healthcare projects? What are Angela’s current projects at GBBN? How did Angela arrive at Healthcare? Angela hosts a weekly show on Clubhouse on Monday mornings called, “Architects as Healers, Building as Medicine” at 9am EST, and “Critical Conversations” on Sundays at 2pm EST.

Lynnette was raised by a father who worked with NASA on the Apollo 11 LUNAR landing program, and of course, Cheryl was curious! She asked Lynnette the question, “What was it like to be raised by a father who worked with NASA on the Apollo 11 LUNAR landing program and how did that inform your work in healthcare?” Lynnette shares, “Math was big in our lives. My dad was a physicist and he had a chalkboard in his office full of formulas, which I had no idea what those meant. I have always loved floor plans and puzzles and I put that math thing to work.

Cheryl asks Gina the question, “What is the collaborative workplace in healthcare that we see coming out of healthcare and why is it so important right now?” Gina shares, “For so long we’ve been focused on the patients and their families which is very important. The staff is also part of the healing machine of the hospital. Human centered design focuses on humans and these humans who take care of other humans deserve to be taken care of as well. It’s about time some of the best spaces in the hospital went to the staff.” This and so much more on the changing face of healthcare design post-COVID from Gina Chang’s perspective on today’s episode of the podcast.

In Cheryl’s conversation with Gina Chang, they discuss: It’s been a long year since COVID first came on the scene in this country. What’s been the one thing that has surprised Gina in her work post-COVID? It has been said about Gina, “With more than 20 years of experience, Gina understands both the complex nature of healthcare facilities, and the simple fact that these are places where people need to feel human, vulnerable, and safe.” How did Gina arrive at this empathetic understanding of the experience of the hospital space? Gina had an “aha moment” during a post-occupancy evaluation with an ICU nurse that changed her. What is the collaborative workplace in healthcare that is becoming more and more commonplace in the hospital setting? We all know there is a severe shortage of nurses and doctors who are really stressed out. How can the design of the environment help? In 2019 the Advisory Board reported that nearly 50% of physicians classify themselves as burned out. By 2030, worldwide, there needs to be double the amount of workforce there is today? What does this mean and how can healthcare architects and designers help? Why medical students currently will not have any problem with finding a collaborative workplace in their first hospital job. Gina has said, “My interest in design was nurtured in childhood through sculpture and creating objects with parts and pieces of things.” Listen to this inspiring story that continues in Gina’s life at home today. Gina shares, “Color is not just for looking good. I knew a pain doctor who only wore blue shirts because blue has been proven to reduce pain” Why is this meaningful for Gina and for healthcare architects and designers?

46: Part 1; Roderic Walton, AIA, NOMA, NCARB; PRINCIPAL, Moody Nolan
In Part 1 of today’s episode, Cheryl speaks with Roderic Walton, AIA, NOMA, NCARB; Principal at Moody Nolan - the nation’s largest African American architecture firm. Cheryl and Roderic dive deep into the topic of race in healthcare and architecture. Cheryl asks Roderic what it’s like to work for the nation’s largest African American architecture firm. Roderic shares, “My individual performance is often represented as that of the entire African American community by so many people that I interact with, and it can be overwhelming. There are so few black architects practicing today and what that means is that often I am the only person of color who is in a leadership role, and looks like me, in most of my professional interactions.” Learn more about what the experience is like for people of color when they enter the healthcare space and why there is a direct correlation between what communities African Americans live in and the type of healthcare they receive, and how healthcare design and architecture professionals can truly change this. Tune in to part 1 of this deeply informative, compassionate and engaging interview with Roderic Walton. Learn more about Roderic Walton,and Moody Nolan by visiting: . Read Roderic Walton’s white paper entitled, “Equity in Healthcare: Healthcare in Black America, ‘Where We Are’ The Current State of Healthcare in America.” here: and here: In Part 1 of Cheryl’s conversation with Roderic Walton they discuss: What is it really like for Roderic (a person of color) to work for the nation’s largest African American architecture firm -- Moody Nolan -- who, among other areas of focus, address issues of disparity and uplift communities that have been disenfranchised? The story of Roderic’s early experience of racism in the field of architecture and how this was a wake-up call that race was going to be an issue. What led to Roderic’s decision to write a powerful white paper entitled, “Equity in Healthcare: Healthcare in Black America, ‘Where We Are’ The Current State of Healthcare in America?” Roderic’s white paper unpacks the complex relationship between racism, redlining, and the current asymmetry in health outcomes for Black and other minority communities. Here are two links to this read this white paper: and COVID has highlighted one vivid and easy-to-understand example of racial bias translating to real harm, and that is the way that pulse oximeters have reduced accuracy with dark-pigmented skin. Roderic shares other examples of harm resulting from bias — or outright racism — that listeners might be less aware of. What is the experience like for people of color when they enter the healthcare space? What is the direct correlation between what communities African Americans live in and the type of healthcare they receive? What was the foundation that was used to justify discrimination that we’ve seen historically? It's obvious to anyone willing to look that Black, Indigenous, and People of color are underrepresented in architecture. This is a group that is around 40% of the US population and 2% of architecture. What has contributed to this? Why has the healthcare design and architecture industry, despite some effort at diversity and inclusion, failed to make much improvement here? Roderic walks us through the journey that got him to where he is today. Why did Roderic pursue a career where he looks around a typical meeting room and sees so few people like himself? Moody Nolan was given the 2021 AIA Gold Medal and Firm Award. Roderic shares what this means to him and to his firm. How has Paul Revere Williams, the first certified African-American architect west of the Mississippi influenced the work that Roderic and Moody Nolan does today? In part 2 of Cheryl’s interview with Roderic Walton, AIA, NOMA, NCARB; Principal at Moody Nolan, Cheryl asks Roderic the question, “When thinking about the future, how can healthcare design and architecture professionals begin to change entrenched systems that are the source of some of these race-related problems?” Roderic shares, “The solution starts with an understanding that it’s not just about individual folks solving their own problems, picking themselves up by their bootstraps and overcoming centuries of oppression. The study of history is clear, it’s instructive; we have a collective responsibility to address these types of concerns. Architects can become active participants in community engagement and outreach activities, and really position ourselves as being much more inclusive and receptive to the notion that we have elective responsibility here to address these issues of oppression. And because we are architects does not mean the problem lies outside of our industry. We are part of the solution.” This and so much more on the changing face of healthcare design on part 2 of today’s episode with Roderic Walton now available. The world is changing quickly.

How does Moody Nolan bring to bear a unique and irreplaceable combination of people, perspective, and process. What makes the firm unique in this way? In Roderic’s white paper entitled, “Equity in Healthcare: Healthcare in Black America, ‘Where We Are’ The Current State of Healthcare in America,” (see link in show notes) Roderic talks about solutions. When thinking about the future, Roderic shares how healthcare design and architecture professionals can begin to change entrenched systems that are the source of some of these problems. What does Roderic mean when he says that we (architects) need to be involved further downstream in the “operation of the spaces we've been involved in designing.” What does Roderic mean when he says, “The community is the healthcare system?” How does Roderic and his team connect the community with the design of a hospital or healthcare space in that community? With almost any complex problem, there are solutions. They range from simple-but-wrong to effective-but-difficult. Roderic unpacks this and gives examples. What are the simple-but-wrong solutions to bias and racism that are most discussed within healthcare architecture? In the past year, have Moody Nolan’s hospital partners been open to more change? If so, how? Why is patient-centered care a fundamental right and no longer optional? How can thought leadership in healthcare design be conduits for transformational change? Are there building projects that we can learn from as we work towards a more equitable and inclusive world? What will we see in 50 years if we all work together towards a more equitable future? How can the healthcare design and architecture industry engage and inspire more youth of color to move into this field? What advice does Roderic have for architecture and design students who are interested in healthcare but are also afraid of it? The world is changing quickly.
