About Healthcare at DLR Group

At the center of DLR Group’s Healthcare practice is an individual - be it a patient, caregiver, instructor, or student. Our design extends beyond the building to consider the emotional, mental, and social well-being of its inhabitants. DLR Group designers are conscious that there are practical and aesthetic issues that must be mediated in healthcare facility planning and design. We leverage our experience and knowledge to deliver evidence-based solutions that support the unique needs of our clients, all the while rooting our practice in one core idea: empathy.

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
