Life at Hammes
Strategic Planning helps healthcare providers make clear decisions about growth and capital investment. As a national leader in strategic planning Hammes brings decades of experience applying a strategic focus to ambulatory and acute care facility development across the country, including long-standing recognition as the nation’s No. 1 healthcare developer.
Healthcare leaders need to know where future demand will be the strongest, which services belong in each market, and whether existing sites can support the plan. Hammes’ network planning evaluates market position, physician supply and demand, competitive dynamics, patient access, and current real estate assets so clients can see which opportunities are worth pursuing. As healthcare continues to evolve, choosing which services belong on a hospital campus and which are better suited off campus will have significant patient satisfaction and financial impacts.
The output is a practical roadmap for decisions about growth, consolidation, relocation, renovation, leasing, or development – both on campus and in the community. It gives leadership a clearer view of what to prioritize, what to defer, and how each recommendation supports strategy, capital planning, and speed to market.
Strong strategies require reliable market analysis and a clear view of how strategic decisions affect access, capital, and execution. Hammes uses future looking retail analytics - demographic trends, service-line demand, physician supply, competitive position, and medical real estate data - to evaluate market options and site opportunities.
Hammes Precision® strengthens this work by calculating volume projections, showing available medical real estate, evaluating potential impact on existing locations, and testing network deployment scenarios in real time. The technology helps client teams compare options quickly, while Hammes provides the healthcare planning and development perspective needed to interpret the results.
Strategic Planning results are more useful when the recommendations can be tested against development, budget, timing, and site conditions. Hammes plans and develops ambulatory and acute care facilities, which helps our team understand what each recommendation may require before clients commit resources.
That implementation perspective is part of the value of the Hammes platform. Advisory, project delivery, development, investment, and property management capabilities can stay connected as a network decision moves from strategy to site selection, facility planning, financing, delivery, or long-term management.
Working with Hammes gives leadership a shared basis for growth decisions. The work clarifies where the organization should focus, how existing assets should be used, where physician strategy affects growth, and which opportunities require capital planning.
That alignment matters before major real estate decisions are made. Hammes helps bring market, physician, facility, and capital considerations into one planning effort so clients can move forward with clearer priorities and fewer disconnected initiatives.
Most health systems have only a near-term view of how their provider work force will grow. Strategic planning that impacts significant capital decisions must forecast recruitment targets further into the future. Hammes translates growth targets into incremental provider needs based on a properly aligned and balanced network of primary care and specialty providers.
Similarly, a long view of services line trends must inform growth decisions. Cardiovascular services have unique considerations compared to cancer services, as do orthopedic and neurosciences and other service lines. Hammes has expertise and experience planning for these service lines in the broader context of system strategic plans and defining the resources each require to succeed.
Hammes’ representative work can help healthcare leaders see how ambulatory strategy, market analytics, medical staff planning, and real estate execution come together.

Here are answers to common questions about our strategic and ambulatory network planning.
Ambulatory Network Planning helps healthcare providers determine where outpatient services should grow, how existing access points should perform, and what real estate decisions are needed to support the plan.
Healthcare organizations work with Hammes because our team combines healthcare market analytics, facility planning, development experience, and real estate implementation perspective. Hammes helps leaders connect outpatient growth strategy to practical decisions about access, sites, capital, and execution.
An ambulatory network plan helps a health system evaluate priority markets, service deployment, physician alignment, site opportunities, existing real estate, capital needs, and timing. The goal is to give leadership a clearer basis for outpatient growth decisions.
Hammes Precision® helps evaluate future sites of care by using relevant data sets, volume projections, medical real estate visibility, and network deployment scenarios. It gives Hammes and client teams a more informed view of potential site performance and market impact.
