MillerKnoll: Performance-Based Furniture Selection for Healthcare Settings

Join MillerKnoll, Thursday, September 24, 2026 at 12:00pm EDT for this CEU webinar on specifying furniture for healthcare environments. 

Grounded in evidence-based design research and clinical insight, the methodology they'll share gives you a defensible basis for every furniture decision, from the patient room to the lab to the lobby. What furniture is appropriate for this healthcare setting?  It's a question healthcare designers face every day, yet the answer isn't always straightforward. Furniture requirements vary significantly across healthcare environments, from waiting areas and patient rooms to behavioral health and high-acuity care. Clinical sensitivity, patient and clinical staff needs, cleanability, durability, safety, and long-term value all shape what should be specified.  

What you’ll walk away with:

  • A clear method for reading any healthcare setting and knowing what to specify 
  • Research-based evidence to guide product conversations with clients and clinical teams 
  • A defensible framework for every furniture decision
