In addition, findings and design recommendations from the “Bluescapes” study conducted earlier this year will be on display. | |
Healthy Futures Student Chapter Update | |
Several teams of students from CUHF are working across three projects spanning centralized sterilization, 'blue ocean' healthcare experience planning, and innovation in orthopedic care models. The teams conducted a mid-semester review with Waterstone leaders during their visit in late March, and are looking forward to receiving additional mentorship from industry experts in the upcoming weeks as they work towards final presentations at the CIHF Symposium in May! The club is planning a field trip to Kendyl at Ithaca and participating in a speaker event with Alejandra Vincettin: a pioneer of wellbeing at the intersection of Healthcare, Hospitality, Senior Living, and Design. | |

Congratulations 2023 Healthy Futures Minor
Madeline Lei and Elizabeth Ayobami Madamidola!
| |
|
Madeline Lei ‘23 is from Naperville, Illinois who will graduate with a degree in Policy Analysis and Management. On campus, she works as a Student Resource Navigator and is involved with the Roosevelt Institute, Health Design Innovations Lab, and Play and Learning Lab.
Academically, Madeline is interested in exploring the intersection between public health and human-centered design. As an HF minor, she has had the chance to both combine and deepen her artistic and healthcare interests. The courses and events have allowed her to interact with passionate students and professionals at the intersection of these industries, inspiring her to pursue how evidence-based and inclusive design can be integrated within healthcare after she graduates.
| | | |

Elizabeth Madamidola will graduate with a BS in Global and Public Health Sciences and a minor in Healthy Futures. She hails from Massachusetts and has a passion for healthcare, with a particular interest in holistic care, patient-centered design, and hospitality. Elizabeth has gained valuable experience through her internship as an Operations Intern at HealthQuarters, where she was responsible for creating health provider responsibility schedules, welcoming and screening patients, and coordinating medical supply procurement plans.
Elizabeth has also participated in a 15-week comparative healthcare systems and medical anthropology study abroad program as part of an International Honors Program, which broadened her perspective on healthcare systems across the world. Additionally, she has been a Research Fellow for Cornell's Health Design Innovations Lab and the Palliative and Advanced Illness Research Center in Philadelphia.
Elizabeth's passion for healthcare will continue to grow as she pursues a Master's in Healthcare Administration (MHA) from the Sloan Program next year.

This paper discusses the role that hospitality bridging healthcare (H2H) provides as an effective means of integrating the leisure hotel guest with the medical tourist guest. Combining these functions in the same physical structure (in this case, a medical resort or medical campus), hotel guests are located near healthcare/medical guest patients. | |

Experiences of racial discrimination pose a significant health risk to ethnic minority youth. In this article, a new concept, racial uplifts, is introduced to capture a largely neglected counter-theme in the scientific literature—the nature and processes underlying salubrious race-related experiences. | |

The study offers new understandings of the relationships between technologies, emodiversity, and well-being. The researchers provide evidence that designing for a wide diversity of positive emotions, as opposed to generalized pleasure-displeasure distinction, can enrich users’ experiences and enhance their well-being. | |
Everyone in the design industry who knows the name E. O. Wilson associates him with the biophilia. : The term, the theory, and the design philosophy grew from there. How could someone so well-known in our field be so much better known for something else? Read Dr. Sach's article to learn more. | |

In this certificate program, you’ll explore best practices for service excellence at senior living facilities. Through examination of case studies and industry regulations, you will gain an in-depth understanding of the current senior living landscape. You'll have the opportunity to utilize the principles of environmental psychology to plan senior living facilities that support health and wellness through informed design. You’ll implement the PPO (product, people, and operational conditions) framework to assess the needs of an organization and apply industry trends to create food service operations that align with the needs of a senior living facility. Throughout the courses, you’ll explore how process thinking can improve your senior living facility by creating a process flow document and formalizing an action plan for decision-making. Finally, you will practice assessing the quality of a senior living organization, identifying areas for improvement through research and applying quality management approaches.

Faculty author: Mardelle Shepley
Effectively applying environmental psychology principles and theories to the design of health care settings can powerfully enhance the quality of life for residents. Whether you're working as a designer of a new health care facility, an administrator of an existing facility, or within the healthcare field, you can use the research to inform decisions about design choices for the space. This relatively new science addresses not only how human beings perceive their surroundings, but also the ways in which good design can optimize people's interactions with the physical world.
In this course, you will explore how to access and analyze design research to evaluate the world around you in order to create environments that support health and wellness.
