Celebrating 5 Year of CIHF: Reflections on the Evolving Landscape of Health, Hospitality, and Design
Cornell Institute for Healthy Futures (CIHF) is the first academic center in the country to combine hospitality, environmental design, and health policy and management into a broad-based platform to improve service in healthcare, wellness, and senior living. To achieve this goal, the Institute develops and supports multidisciplinary educational programs, sponsors and disseminates research, and hosts conferences, roundtables, meetings, and practicum projects.
The mission of the CIHF is to provide a multi-disciplinary platform for integrating hospitality, health management/policy, and design to enhance service excellence in healthcare, wellness, senior living and related industries.
The Institute is celebrating five years since its founding and would like to discuss the impact of this interdisciplinary endeavor. Former and current directors will reflect on the progress made toward the original goals, and the impact of the Institute on their perspectives. The audience will be invited to share their thoughts on the future of a collaboration between health, hospitality and design.
