38^th Annual Healthcare Facilities Symposium & Expo Offers Products and Services from 100+ Exhibitors

SAN DIEGO, CA- (August 6, 2025) — Healthcare Facilities Symposium and Expo (HFSE), one of the country’s largest shows dedicated to healthcare design and facilities will features an expansive Exhibit Hall with 100+ Exhibitors from across the globe boasting the best products and services in the healthcare design industry including: furnishings, lighting, flooring, wall coverings, solution providers, technology, and so much more. As the Healthcare Facilities Symposium & Expo (HFSE) 2025 opens its doors, one trend is clear: healthcare design is no longer just about functionality—it’s about fostering healing, dignity, and resilience in every corner of the care environment.

From patient rooms to public spaces, exhibitors and speakers alike are showcasing how thoughtful, human-centered design is transforming the healthcare experience for patients, families, and staff. Several emerging trends are taking center stage:

1.Biophilic and Nature-Infused Design

Designers are integrating nature into healthcare environments to reduce stress, support healing, and improve overall patient and staff well-being. Research shows that access to natural light, greenery, and nature-inspired materials can lower cortisol levels, reduce pain perception, and shorten recovery times. These principles are increasingly guiding decisions in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

Exhibitor Highlights:

Aesthetics, Inc. (Booth 120) is a nationally recognized arts and design consulting firm specializing in healthcare environments. For 45 years, they’ve partnered with hospitals, clinics, and wellness centers across the U.S. and Canada. Comprehensive services include art master planning, curated art programs, interior design, fundraising support, environmental graphics, and initiatives focused on combating staff burnout, are all thoughtfully developed to enhance the patient, family, and caregiver experience. They create spaces that promote healing, reduce stress, and reflect the unique values of the communities they serve and apply biophilic principles in wayfinding, artwork, and design strategy, integrating local ecosystems and cultural themes into healing spaces.

LIGHTGLASS (Booth 433) LIGHTGLASS’ simulated Windows and Skylights is a new product in architecture. They have developed a light engine that emulates daylight and put it in the form of a window, clerestory or skylight; to afford the opportunity of enjoying the daylight experience in any interior space in a very practical way. Through the integration of the latest LED lighting technology into the form and materials of a window, LIGHTGLASS is nearly indiscernible from a real window.

With possibilities ranging from walls, elevators, doors, ceilings trellises and beams, furniture, and more, the skies the limit for all the different applications of this material. The NEW 2025-2026 catalog includes Solids, Metal, Multiple Wood and Premium Wood options, Perfect for the hospitality environment, the Wood grains are naturally antimicrobial, and all of the BENIF material options can be wiped down with a commercial grade cleaner to keep it clean and sanitized in your healthcare facility.

2. Designing for Health & Sustainability

Healthcare facilities are increasingly aligning environmental sustainability with human health — recognizing that a healing space must also be a sustainable one. From reducing embodied carbon in construction materials to improving indoor air quality and daylight access, hospitals are being designed to promote both ecological and physiological well-being. Strategies include low-VOC finishes, energy-efficient systems, renewable materials, and more. These choices not only reduce a facility’s environmental footprint but also support infection control, cognitive performance, and long-term cost savings.

Exhibitor Highlights:

HSI Hospital Systems, Inc. (Booth 421) has proudly kept all of their design and manufacturing in the United States of America.

3. Connected Care: Smart Hospitals

Smart hospitals are transforming healthcare delivery through connected care systems that integrate devices, data, and infrastructure. From automated lighting and HVAC systems to asset tracking and remote monitoring, connected care environments create a seamless, data-driven experience that supports both clinical excellence and operational agility. Moving analytics and device control closer to the facility edge reduces latency, improves reliability, and supports real-time asset tracking.

Exhibitor Highlights:
