Gresham Smith Renames Healthcare Market to Health, Reflecting Broader Vision for Future of Care

Updated Name Underscores Firm’s Focus on Advancing Healing and Wellness to Create Healthier Communities

Gresham Smith announced today that its Healthcare market has been renamed Health, a change that reflects the evolving landscape of care delivery and the firm’s commitment to supporting well‑being across the full health continuum.

The updated name reinforces the market’s long‑standing focus on creating environments that foster healing, promote wellness, and uplift the communities where care happens—extending the impact of design beyond traditional care settings and into the places where people live, work, learn, and connect.

“Health today is shaped by more than clinical spaces — it’s shaped by the everyday experiences that influence well-being and reflect a broader understanding of what it means to support whole-person health,” said Health Executive Vice President Penny Houchens, IIDA, NCIDQ, Lean. “As our clients redefine what health means for their communities, this name change reflects our commitment to helping them embrace that broader vision — designing spaces and providing solutions that support healthier, more resilient futures.”

Gresham Smith’s Health market comprises more than 180 professionals working out of eight office locations across the United States. The market has more than 500 active projects nationwide and earned approximately $63 million in gross revenue in 2025.

Rooted in thoughtful design and impactful innovation, the team works alongside health leaders to create environments that reflect local needs and prepare for the future of care. The market’s architects, interior designers, engineers, planners and researchers guide clients with clarity from early strategy through project closeout, applying deep technical expertise to deliver spaces that elevate outcomes and improve experiences for patients, providers and communities.

The Health market’s work spans a diverse portfolio across the full continuum of care, including acute and ambulatory facilities, behavioral health environments, cancer care centers, rehabilitation settings, and wellness-focused environments. Additionally, the firm’s strategic consulting services help clients navigate evolving market conditions and shifting models of care.
