Master Facility Planning

A Smart Investment Strategy

Hammes approaches facility planning as a strategic investment decision. With decades of experience in healthcare real estate, we understand that healthcare systems need right-sized, efficient, and operationally sound facilities that support both patient care and financial sustainability.

Many master planning firms take a design-first approach, which can lead to overbuilt or inefficient facilities that don’t align with a healthcare system’s long-term needs. Hammes operates with an investor’s mindset. Through our affiliate, Hammes Partners, we invest in healthcare facilities with our own capital so we are deeply committed to delivering financially responsible, scalable, and adaptable solutions that make operational and strategic sense.

Strategic and Data-Driven Approach to Master Facility Planning

Hammes works alongside healthcare executives to answer critical questions that shape the future of their facilities.

• How will health system assets evolve to adapt to the impact of new technologies and changing models of patient care?

• How do your facilities support your growth, operational efficiency, and financial objectives?

• How much latent capacity exists in your current facilities?

• What is the most cost-effective and sustainable approach to facility expansion or renovation?

Our approach ensures that every master facility plan is directly linked to the healthcare organization’s long-term business strategy - not just short-term needs. We bring together key stakeholders, analyze market dynamics, and use advanced data to guide decision-making.

A hospital or medical campus must function as more than just a collection of buildings. It must support patient care, operational workflows, and strategic growth. Hammes’ collaborative planning process ensures that every aspect of the master planning process is driven by data and the needs of the patient.

Data-Driven Decision Making and Planning

Hammes leverages advanced data analytics to help healthcare systems make informed decisions about their facilities. Our approach includes a thorough analysis of market and demographic intel to identify future care demands. Operational modeling is used to optimize workflow and space utilization. Finally, financial scenario planning to align capital investments with business objectives. With these insights, healthcare leaders can confidently make decisions.
