If your hospital or healthcare system’s long-term facility and real estate objectives aren’t fully developed, we can create a customized strategic campus, master facility or real estate plan that’s thoroughly grounded in your unique market situation, capital capacity, mission, and vision for the future. We can also validate your existing plan with an integrated, objective, fact based approach.

We address key questions about:

• Your Market: Who are your referral sources and competition?  What is your service delivery plan?


• Your Mission: What are the Quality of Care goals for your community?


• Your Vision, Scale and Scope: Where do you need to be 10 years from now?


• Your Operations Model: What are your goals for level of service, efficiency, patient satisfaction and safety?


• Your Technology: How “film-less”, wireless and paperless you will need to be?


• Your Sites: How and where you can expand in your market?


• Your Facility Options: What facilities are needed and/or not needed to address market, vision and mission?


• Your Financial Issues: How much future capital you need, and how do you access it?
