Early Capital Planning Phases Webinar
September 24th, 2025, 1:00-2:00 PM EST
Is your health center considering a renovation, expansion, or new site? The success of any capital project is determined long before the first blueprint is drawn. The early planning phases- where strategic vision meets operational and financial reality- are the most crucial. This webinar will provide your leadership team with a proven framework to navigate this complex process, align your project with community need, and build a compelling case for funders.
Join Capital Link, a national nonprofit with over 30 years of experience guiding health centers through $1.6 billion in successful capital projects, for this essential deep dive into early-stage planning.
What You Will Learn:
In this actionable session, our experts will guide you through the sequential steps of early project planning:
• Strategic Alignment: How to ensure your capital project is driven by your mission and informed by a robust, board-led strategic plan, as required by HRSA.
• Market Justification: Learn how to use data from UDS, EHB Forms, and market mapping tools to define your service area, identify unmet need, and quantitatively justify expansion.
• Operational Assessment: Methods to evaluate your current operations, staffing, and workflows to forecast future needs and avoid simply recreating existing bottlenecks in a new space.
• Financial Readiness: How to assess your organization’s financial capacity and debt readiness to undertake a capital project sustainably.
• The Functional Program: An introduction to translating your operational needs into a preliminary space plan- the essential document that guides architects and funders.
