For over 30 years, Rob has honed his expertise in the planning and design of health environments throughout the northeast and across the country. As the Director of Health Planning for the firm, he is focused on the integration of clinical excellence, visionary design and strategic consulting integration into the built environment to solve the most complex challenges facing healthcare providers today.
Rob has a passion for the details. He knows the ins and outs of what makes a hospital or a clinic the optimal care environment for patients and workers. A national leader in healthcare planning and design, he is certified by the American College of Healthcare Architects and is a member of the Facility Guidelines Institute (FGI) Health Guidelines Revisions Committee. He is passionate about the details because he knows they matter — healthcare spaces have a tremendous impact on our lives, and design plays a vital role in shaping that impact.
