Following last year’s virtual program, Stance Healthcare was excited to once again participate in the HCD Conference + Expo in person this year. Our team enjoyed several productive days of networking with peers, making new industry connections and most of all, drawing inspiration from the many new healthcare product designs on exhibit. 

We were also proud to showcase many of Stance’s new, coming-soon, and best-selling collections for general healthcare and Behavioral Health, including: 

Clover Lounge Collection

Flo Dining Collection 

Gem Occasional Table Collection

Jensen Lounge Collection 

Verity Lounge Collection

Valet Lounge Collection

Spry Seating Collection *coming soon in early 2022

Capping off a great event, we were honored to close out the conference by taking home the Nightingale GOLD Award for our Flo Dining Collection for Behavioral Health. The annual Nightingale Awards recognize products related to the healthcare built environment, which contribute positively to a healing environment.

Following a long first year marked by COVID-19, Stance team members in attendance were energized by the event’s warm, inviting programming format, and vendor displays that complemented our brand mission: Improving Lives by Design. As our Behavioral Health Interior Designer, Suzanne Fawley, put it: “The event exhibits were bright, happy, thoughtful, and approachable, and the quality of products on display have never been better. Everyone was interacting with such warmth, glad to be reunited again – and I left feeling so inspired about how our products can support better healthcare experiences for so many people.”

“Reuniting as a community in Cleveland gave me reasons for optimism and celebration,” said Stance Healthcare’s Vice President of Customer Relations, Bill Coble. “This time of year I like to take stock, and appreciate all the challenges and successes the last 12 months brought – and this year, one of those successes is experiencing the genuine enthusiasm for Stance’s Improving Lives by Design mission at HCD.”
