E4H

January 8, 2018

E4H, an architecture firm exclusively focused on the healthcare industry, is dedicated to creating flexible environments for health that enhance the well-being of patients and families through Smart Facility Design. Formed through the merger of three firms – MorrisSwitzer Environments for Health, Ascension Group Architects, and daSilva Architects – E4H has more than three decades of experience, 5,000 projects completed, and five locations.

E4H’s healthcare planners and architects work to solve complex challenges posed by today’s changing healthcare landscape. Our unique solutions create environments that are economically and environmentally sustainable. We believe that Smart Facility Design reduces operating costs, supports new care models, energizes staff, provides flexibility, and promotes wellness.

We understand the healthcare industry and the current forces that impact our clients’ business. Our healthcare-only focus allows us to design environments that are elegant, adaptable, and solve today’s unique challenges. We design for community hospitals, academic medical centers, life science laboratories, R&D spaces, children’s hospitals, mental health facilities, ambulatory care centers, rehabilitation facilities, assisted living, and medical office buildings. Working collaboratively with clients, together we improve outcomes for patients and families.

E4H aspires to set the standard for healthcare design. Our focus spans the entire industry, from research and discovery to patient care. We believe innovative and creative design generates compelling, functional and cost-effective solutions for patients, residents, and families, as well as staff. E4H is:

  • Dedicated to Patient & Family Centered Design
  • Responsive to client’s unique needs
  • Committed to Partners leading every Project from start to finish
  • Engaged in a collaborative design process

Every project is designed to high-performance, green standards. E4H’s LEED Accredited staff work with clients to ensure each design accomplishes the team’s sustainability goals.

LEED Strategies:

  • Use of recycled & low emitting materials
  • Specification of energy efficient lighting, plumbing & HVAC equipment
  • Integrate high performance envelope design
  • Explore green construction options to create efficiencies
  • Study site orientation to optimize solar advantages

The next major technological frontier in architecture is the integration of Virtual Reality (VR) into the design process. VR can be utilized to communicate design to users, assist in engineering coordination, create mock ups for construction planning, as well as make a high-tech statement for marketing and fundraising.

The Connecticut Association of Healthcare Executives

The Connecticut Association of Healthcare Executives (CTAHE) represents professionals who manage the business affairs of healthcare organizations throughout the state of Connecticut. No other professional association is more inclusive and essential for meeting the career needs and interests of healthcare executives in Connecticut as the healthcare industry transforms to value-based care.

Our CTAHE membership strives to be inclusive of all healthcare stakeholders spanning not only hospitals, health plans, health systems, and independent physician associations, but our universities that are educating our future healthcare administrators.

The Connecticut Association of Healthcare Executives (CTAHE) is a chapter of the American College of Healthcare Executives, which you can read more about below.

The American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE)

The American College of Healthcare Executives is an international professional society of more than 40,000 healthcare executives who lead hospitals, healthcare systems and other healthcare organizations. ACHE offers its prestigious FACHE® credential, signifying board certification in healthcare management.

ACHE’s established network of 80 chapters provides access to networking, education and career development at the local level. In addition, ACHE is known for its magazine, Healthcare Executive, and its career development and public policy programs. Through such efforts, ACHE works toward its goal of being the premier professional society for healthcare executives dedicated to improving healthcare delivery.

The Foundation of the American College of Healthcare Executives was established to further advance healthcare management excellence through education and research. The Foundation of ACHE is known for its educational programs—including the annual Congress on Healthcare Leadership, which draws more than 4,000 participants—and groundbreaking research.

Its publishing division, Health Administration Press, is one of the largest publishers of books and journals on health services management including textbooks for college and university courses. For more information about ACHE, click here.
