Bio
Stephen Wang has spent 12 years dedicated to the design and construction of health care facilities in Texas. As a young architectural student back in 1994, my interest in architecture was stemmed by how good design could positively influence and shape occupants in their building space. Also helping people solve their functionality, aesthetic, and space organizational problems with creative solutions gave me great joy. The specialty design of health care environments throughout my career has allowed me to expand on this principle by creating a better healing environment for the patients, a less stressful environment for the friends and families, a more pleasant work environment for the care givers, and assisting the physicians and medical pioneers in their endeavors with state-of-the-art facilities that house advanced technologies and equipment.
Stephen graduated from Texas A&M University with a degree in Architecture in 1998, spent 9 years working at Philo & Wilke Architects (a medium-sized Houston architecture firm specializing in the health-care and research oriented fields), 2 years as an in-house Project Manager at The Methodist Hospital (a comprehensive 1,300 bed adult teaching hospital in the heart of the Texas Medical Center), and 1 year as a Project Coordinator in the Healthcare Team of Kirksey Architecture. I have had the great joy of working with many of Houston's leading medical and research institutions including Memorial Hermann Healthcare System, The Methodist Hospital, University of Texas Medical Branch-Galveston, University of Houston, and University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. At Kirksey, I had the unique opportunity to assist in the planning and design of a 700 bed hospital and medical college in Nepal (their health care delivery is really really different in that part of the world).
My interest in the health care design arena resolves operating room design, neo-natal intensive care units and pediatrics, oncology treatment, ambulatory care centers, and medical equipment specialties. My purpose in starting this blog is to provide the Houston health care design community with a forum to discuss and be educated with the issues and challenges with America's heath care system, especially as it relates to health care facilities and design. Articles relating to proposed legislation reform, insurance, case studies, and industry news will also be provided.
