Acute Care Projects
"Our Acute Care Projects focus on patient-centered care and efficient caregiver environments. However, recent history has caused a shift in healthcare priorities since infection control, flexibility of spaces, as well as staffing shortages have come to the forefront. We will continue to use best practices and work with clients to foster innovative solutions to the challenges they face."
