Through research based analysis and environmental practices, Design for Healing develops projects in a patient-focused model, while accounting for the wellness of care providers.

Bethany Clouse, CID, LEED AP, Principal, comes from a large family of professional caregivers, and spent time volunteering in various hospitals as a young adult. At family gatherings, the conversation usually led to patient treatment. It was while working with practitioners during her first hospital project, that Bethany discovered the objectives of the caregiver were consistent – put the patient and families first, and make a facility that is functional, safe and visually pleasing for everyone.

A few years later, while doing volunteer work in a developing country, it became clear that these collective experiences were her pathway to a greater sense of purpose. Now, with her combined design expertise and empathetic interpersonal skills, Bethany is dedicated to creating healing environments.
