Life at Hammes
Healthcare providers operate in a rapidly evolving landscape where real estate is both a major asset and a strategic investment. With shifting care models, expanding ambulatory networks, virtual care and continued system integration, Hammes helps hospitals, health systems, academic medical centers and physician groups assess owned and leased portfolios, uncover cost-saving opportunities, improve portfolio efficiency and align real estate decisions with market strategy, operational performance and long-term growth.
Hammes approaches real estate optimization as not just a property review, but rather a combination of enterprise strategy, operational review, real estate know-how and financial analysis. Our team evaluates owned and leased assets against strategic, operational and financial goals, including utilization, lease obligations, facility condition, occupancy cost, surplus properties, market position, service-line demand, ambulatory access and future growth requirements.
Working with Hammes helps healthcare leaders answer practical portfolio questions: which assets should be maintained, consolidated, expanded, repositioned or divested; where real estate should support ambulatory expansion or market access; and how facilities can better support physicians, patients and operating performance. The result is a clearer view of how the real estate portfolios can support improved access for the health system and the community.
Hammes evaluates healthcare real estate through the combined lens of real estate, strategy planning, operations and finance. Because Hammes works across the full healthcare real estate lifecycle, we are purpose built to develop recommendations that are grounded in what it takes to plan, structure, develop, manage and execute real estate strategies.
Hammes evaluates owned and leased properties to identify underutilized assets, cost-saving opportunities and real estate decisions that can improve both portfolio performance and access in the community. This work may include real estate performance metrics, lease agreements, occupancy costs, utilization and capacity, facility condition, capital needs, surplus properties and ownership structures and strategic growth support.
Hammes helps healthcare organizations determine whether existing facilities align with the markets they need to serve, the services they need to grow and the access points patients and physicians need. This work can support ambulatory network planning, integrated care strategies, population health initiatives, campus decisions, access strategies and service-line growth.
Hammes turns portfolio findings into clear, prioritized recommendations that leadership can use to make decisions and move work forward. Our team helps define recommended actions by asset, evaluate capital requirements, consider lease and ownership strategies, establish timing and sequencing and align stakeholders around implementation.
Real estate decisions can directly affect physician recruitment, satisfaction and retention. Hammes helps healthcare organizations evaluate how location, accessibility, facility functionality, collaboration space and workplace quality influence physicians and care teams, helping clients plan environments that support efficient, modern care delivery.
