WHAT WE BELIEve
LEADERSHIP | EDUCATION | ADVOCACY
The Nursing Institute for Healthcare Design is a non-profit professional association that stands for the engagement and integration of clinical expertise into the planning and design of healthcare environments, which we achieve through education, advocacy and leadership.
We promote health care design standards; foster inclusion of nurses and healthcare providers in all phases of the design process; and provide educational programs for our members; while we disseminate innovations and research evidence for all areas of health care design.
NIHD, Inc., a 501(C)6, promotes collaborative and interdisciplinary education for all disciplines within the health care design and construction community.
Our members continue to share with us their desire to network and build relationships, so we encourage you to become involved. If you would like to be a part of the ongoing work of NIHD, please consider joining a Committee or Task Force. It is a great way to get to know NIHD and make a 'connection' at the same time!
