The Family Tree Clinic in South Minneapolis is more than treatment rooms and chairs. “It’s a clinic that serves a lot of patients who have suffered trauma, so we were thinking about creating a waiting room that looks more like a hotel lobby and feels inclusive and safe,” says Kristine Sallee, who joined Minneapolis architecture firm Perkins&Will in 2023 with 25 years of experience in health care design. With a finger on the pulse of evolving heath care trends and a thoughtful approach to designing spaces with patients in mind, her expertise is in demand. Clients include M Health Fairview, Allina, and many nonprofits and mental health organizations.
