From November 2-5, Metcalfe will attend the Healthcare Design Expo + Conference (link) in New Orleans, LA. The conference brings together architects and designers, hospital staff and product manufacturers to explore best practices and the latest trends in healthcare design.

Our founder, Alan Metcalfe, who – in one quick bite – will explain what inspires his designs.

Metcalfe would like to recognize the passing of Jane Korman, philanthropist and connoisseur of art, without whom we would not be involved in Out on a Limb at the Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania.
