Lifetime of success
The American College of Healthcare Architects (ACHA) has recognized Derek Parker, a director and former CEO of Anshen + Allen with the Lifetime Achievement Award’s Hamilton Medal.
 Parker received the award at the ACHA Member Luncheon in Washington DC in November last year in recognition of a significant body of work of lasting influence on the theory and practice of healthcare architecture.
Since taking on a senior role in the firm following the death of Bob Anshen in 1964, Parker has consistently demonstrated a passion for innovative design, upholding the traditions of Anshen + Allen at the same time as developing the firm’s position as a leading healthcare practice. He should perhaps be most celebrated, however, for his wider impact on the industry as a cofounder of the Center for Health Design and the Pebble Project research initiative; creator of the Fable Hospital; and his advisory roles with the International Academy for Design and Health, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, and the Robert wood Johnson Foundation.
