HOK Funds Clinic in Kenya

In recognition of its 50th anniversary, the architecture firm Hellmuth, Obata + Kassabaum, Inc. (HOK) has agreed to donate $500,000 to the construction upgrades, outfitting, staffing, and launch of a solar-powered diagnostic and treatment center that the nonprofit Africa Infectious Disease Village Clinics, Inc., is building in rural Mbirikani, Kenya. “In its broadest sense, sustainability is about creating healthy, responsible, and economically viable communities, which can mean ensuring that basic human needs, such as access to quality healthcare, are satisfied,” says Bill Valentine, chairman of HOK.
