Entrepreneur featured in new interview urges developers and care providers to rethink how environments impact health, dignity, and long-term success
PIKESVILLE, MD / ACCESS Newswire / July 24, 2025 / Real estate developer and healthcare innovator Timur Yusufov is using his latest feature interview to rally support for a simple yet powerful idea: spaces shape lives. In a wide-ranging Q&A, Yusufov shares how decades of experience in real estate and healthcare have shown him the urgent need to build environments that promote dignity, comfort, and long-term value-especially for underserved communities.
"Whether it's a home, a clinic, or a community center, the environment matters," Yusufov said. "Good design isn't just aesthetic-it's functional, healing, and empowering."
Yusufov, COO of Vital Care Pharmacy's adult medical day care division and founder of Unique Homes, LLC, has worked at the intersection of real estate, healthcare, and technology for over 20 years. He's now urging others-developers, care providers, and community leaders-to adopt a long-term view and a people-first mindset.
Spaces That Heal, Not Just House
Citing data from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Yusufov highlights how over 5 million U.S. households live in substandard housing, and nearly 20% of adults over age 60 report homes that don't meet their physical needs.
He argues that poorly designed housing and care facilities contribute directly to health inequality.
"A poorly ventilated building raises stress and infection risk. A poorly designed clinic discourages patients from returning," he explains. "Design is health."
The Case for Integration and Innovation
In the interview, Yusufov shared his passion for blending sustainable building, smart technology, and patient-centered healthcare. He believes these tools can create systems that support people at every stage of life-from youth to elder care.
"We're moving toward a future where AI can help monitor seniors at home, where solar-powered buildings lower costs, and where design supports mental health as much as physical care," said Yusufov. "But we need to build that future today."
A Call to Rethink the Basics
Rather than calling for donations or sweeping policy reform, Yusufov wants individuals to take the first step themselves. His message is clear:
"Look around. Is your environment helping you thrive? If not, start small. Add light, reduce clutter, use tech wisely. If you're a business owner-think about how your space affects your team."
What You Can Do Today
Property Owners: Invest in long-term value. Add insulation, improve air quality, or explore renewable energy options.
Healthcare Leaders: Rethink your waiting rooms, not just your workflows. Prioritize calm, accessible design.
Homeowners: Think about how your living space supports mental and physical wellness. Even minor changes can make a big difference.
Community Builders: Collaborate across sectors. Bring healthcare and housing together with shared values in mind.
