Many healthcare facilities are facing a need for replacement, expansion or renovation. Healthcare providers are responding to new or changing codes and regulations, advancing technology, changing trends and an aging population.
HDR offers not only the planning and design capability for its healthcare clients, we also provide the leadership and expertise to help clients see beyond today's challenges and needs. This results in facilities that are innovative, flexible, efficient and that support a healing, sensitive environment for patients, their families and the healthcare staff. Besides the design expertise offered by HDR, non-traditional services such as strategic operational and clinical planning, medical equipment planning, urban and campus planning, signage and graphics, and sustainable design services are also available.
After 40 years of working with a variety of healthcare clients across the country, HDR offers a wealth of insight gained from experiences on thousands of hospital projects. The combination of national experience and the local delivery of our services from the regional offices provides a unique opportunity for the healthcare design team to bring new and innovative concepts to decision makers at health systems, hospitals and medical centers.
HDR also looks to the future with the development of its healthcare consulting group. This group of former healthcare professionals consisting of hospital administrators, nurses and planners responds to the changing industry and offers clinical, operations and facility planning services to hospitals and healthcare systems. They approach projects with a focus on the outcome and help clients meet their strategic business objectives.
HDR has been recognized for award-winning healthcare architectural design on many different types of facilities.

HDR has received that honor twelve times since the survey's inception in 1978 and has never ranked below No. 4.
