Healthcare Design Announces 2023 Nightingale Awards

Healthcare Design magazine named the winners of the 2023 Nightingale Awards during an awards presentation at the Healthcare Design Conference + Expo in New Orleans, Nov. 4-7.

The Nightingale Awards, in partnership with the Center for Health Design and the HCD Conference, recognize products related to the healthcare built environment.

This year 55 products were reviewed—a record number of entries for the annual awards program, which is named for Florence Nightingale, a tireless advocate for the improvement of care and conditions in military and civilian hospitals in the 1800s.

The judging criteria for the awards is the product’s contribution or solution for clinical or operational outcomes; aesthetics and innovation; built environment solution, durability, functionality, and quality; industry certifications and standards; environmental sustainability; and list price.

Brewer Company received the Nightingale Best of Competition Award for Versa Exam Table. The product also won the Gold Award in the Furniture: Clinician Support category. (Brewer’s show Booth is 1157.)
