Life at Hammes
As a trusted advisory for over three decades, Hammes offers strategic, market, real estate, and facility consulting services that enable healthcare organizations to plan for the future, optimize the present, and prepare for implementation.
Establishing a solid strategic position for the future has never been more important—or more challenging—for healthcare executives and their organizations. Hammes' Advisory Services team works with healthcare providers to translate market strategy, facility needs, real estate decisions, and capital priorities into plans that can be evaluated, funded, and acted on.
As part of a vertically integrated real estate platform, we connect strategic and facility planning with practical knowledge of project delivery, development, investment, property management, and long-term asset performance. The result is a planning process informed by enterprise strategy and the realities of implementation.
Advisory engagements often begin before a project has a defined budget, site, ownership structure, or facility solution. Hammes helps establish the planning assumptions, market facts, space needs, real estate implications, and financial considerations that allow healthcare leadership teams to evaluate priorities with greater clarity.
Because our Advisory Services team sits within the broader Hammes platform that includes project delivery, activation, and property management, our recommendations are informed by the implementation path. We understand how early planning decisions affect capital requirements, delivery sequencing, approvals, operations, and long-term asset performance.
This is where Hammes’ advisory work is distinct. Our team combines healthcare strategy, analytics, and facility planning with the practical knowledge of what it takes to carry a recommendation through capital approval, site selection, project delivery, ownership decisions, and operational use.
We specialize in network development, market attractiveness analysis, access planning, location strategy, provider development, and service line optimization to identify opportunities to strengthen market presence, improve patient access, and align capital investments with long term organizational goals.
Master facility plans serve as a reliable blueprint to guide healthcare facility investments over a multi-year period. Hammes Healthcare’s master facility and campus planning work links facility solutions to strategic plans, mission priorities, capital constraints, operating efficiency, patient safety, implementation needs, and long-term flexibility.
By evaluating value projections, conducting site neutrality analyses, performing second opinion studies, and developing KPUs and capital cost estimates, we provide the insights needed to assess investment opportunities, reduce risk, and make confident capital planning decisions.
Our Real Estate Optimization services help healthcare providers maximize the value and performance of their real estate portfolios by aligning assets with organizational strategy, market dynamics, and operational goals.

Let's discuss your project and how we can help drive success for your healthcare system.
Hammes Healthcare Advisory Services helps healthcare providers evaluate where ambulatory services should be located, which services belong in each market or site of care, and how existing real estate assets, physician alignment, patient access, market demand, competitive dynamics, capital budgets, and speed-to-market requirements should shape network decisions. Through ambulatory network planning and Hammes Precision®, Hammes combines healthcare utilization data, retail analytics, market intelligence, and facility planning to support site validation, market placement, service distribution, and long-term ambulatory strategy.
Hammes helps healthcare organizations evaluate whether existing facilities and real estate assets are supporting access, clinical growth, operating efficiency, and financial stewardship. This work may include assessing utilization, capacity, facility condition, lease structure, occupancy cost, capital needs, service-line demand, location strategy, and market position. The outcome is a clearer view of where to consolidate, expand, reinvest, reposition, develop, or defer investment so real estate decisions support the organization’s broader strategy.
A healthcare master facility or campus plan should connect business strategy, service-line priorities, financial constraints, stakeholder input, patient safety, operating efficiency, campus logistics, implementation needs, and future flexibility. Hammes approaches master facility and campus planning from the top down, beginning with the organization’s strategy and translating those priorities into a phased plan for facilities, operations, and capital deployment. The goal is not simply to identify facility needs, but to create a practical roadmap that can guide investment decisions over time.
Hammes Precision® is a proprietary real estate and retail analytics platform that incorporates healthcare utilization data to support site validation, site location analysis, specialty projects, market share forecasting, and ambulatory network planning.
Hammes supports capital project and feasibility planning by connecting strategy, demand, operations, service-line needs, site considerations, budget requirements, capital priorities, and implementation timing. This helps healthcare providers evaluate whether a proposed hospital, ambulatory, specialty, campus, or new-market project is strategically aligned, financially grounded, and operationally appropriate before significant capital is committed. Feasibility planning can help organizations compare scenarios, understand trade-offs, and determine whether a project should move forward, change direction, or be deferred.
The unique combination of our robust national healthcare real estate platform and fully discretionary capital allows us to move quickly and nimbly with the resources needed to execute on a wide range of healthcare real estate investment opportunities.
Hammes Advisory Services is part of a healthcare real estate platform with capabilities across strategy, planning, project management, development, investment, and property management. This gives advisory recommendations the benefit of practical real estate execution knowledge across the full lifecycle.
