Uplift: A Podcast about the Transformative Power of Design

Financial uncertainty continues to be the number one driver when it comes to the planning and design of healthcare projects. Last season, we focused on how to address uncertainty when a project is already underway. This season, we’re looking at how organizations can tackle this issue before a project begins—through facility master plans, evaluating real estate, operational change and flexible design. To discuss, we’re joined by Cindy Hecker, CEO of the University of Washington Medical Center and NBBJ’s Joan Saba. We’ll talk about the factors contributing to an unpredictable healthcare market, and how healthcare systems navigate financial uncertainty.
