As a healthcare architect, and medical planner, Jordan Kravitz believes we can bolster community healthcare practices by creating a strong pillar of health and wellness by designing without bias but with dignity, compassion, and sustainable thinking towards our future. With projects across the entire care continuum from medical office buildings to complex hospital projects she can effortlessly execute the duties of both project architect and medical planner, playing an essential role in integrating the programmatic and spatial demands of a project with its technical requirements. Jordan is known as a leader in her place of work and community through her activism in justices, equity , diversity, and inclusion (J.E.D.I) initiatives and involvement with the American Institute of Architects (AIA), and the Women in Healthcare Organization.

Lori Brown FAIA is an architect and Professor of Architecture in the School of Architecture at Syracuse University. Her creative research practice examines relationships between architecture and social justice and seeks to create political engagement.
