This publication walks health center leadership through the process of defining, preparing, and equipping internal planning teams to work effectively with design and construction teams in defining a flexible, efficient facility that reflects the health center’s unique goals and priorities. Capital Link also discussed space planning in the recent webinar titled "Designing Your Facility: Preparing Your Team for Space Planning Success." Released in 2022.
As we develop facilities that strengthen the work of our teams and facilitate improved outcomes for our patients, we are called to not only replicate past successes but to explore new ideas.
