Pillars of Health Care Architecture

By Brian D. McLaren AIA posted 12-31-2017 12:00 AM

  

An Ongoing Collaborative Alliance

The six organizations below are allied to advance health care architecture. The AIA Academy of Architecture for Health (AAH) was founded in 1945, and three of the other organizations were created by members of AAH to advance specific aspects of the profession. The leaders of all six organizations have committed to foster collaboration where it is beneficial and to improve our collective efficiency by clarifying the roles of each group to avoid duplication of services. Each organization remains fully independent, but members of all six groups meet regularly to continue to enrich this important alliance. We urge you to visit each organization’s website to learn more.
