On September 17, the KPF Senior Associate Principal joined a distinguished panel of industry leaders at the publication’s healthcare conference, held at the CUNY Graduate Center in New York City.
The National Healthcare Construction Forum brings together experts from architecture, engineering, construction, and healthcare to discuss the future of facility design and development. Georgina’s expertise in healthcare design is shaped by her strategic approach to project management. She leads some of KPF’s most technically complex healthcare and life science projects, including both new construction and adaptive reuse.
Georgina excels at guiding multidisciplinary teams through intricate design phasing, and multifaceted regulatory processes, fostering collaboration and driving successful outcomes. Her management of the transformation of the 1962 Klingenstein Clinical Center into the Tisch Cancer Hospital materializes Mount Sinai Health System’s bold vision for the future of cancer care in New York City. The project will deliver a state-of-the-art cancer treatment facility with over one hundred acuity-adaptable, fully accessible patient rooms, a cutting-edge Oncology Care Unit and comprehensive wellness amenities for inpatients and outpatients.
Georgina joined a “Project Close-Up” panel with Patrick Burke (Columbia University Irving Medical Center), Richard Meilan, P.E., LEED AP (MG Engineering), Joseph Chin (LF Driscoll Healthcare), and Mitch Green (AECOM Tishman) as moderator to discuss the Vagelos Innovation Laboratories at Columbia University’s Irving Medical Center, a fossil fuel-free, state-of-the-art biomedical research facility. The conversation addressed sustainable design, construction challenges, and strategies for creating resilient, future-ready research spaces in urban healthcare environments.
