At Montefiore Mt. Vernon, renewal became an opportunity to reinvest in an underserved community, reimagining Emergency and OR platforms, introducing a welcoming new public canopy and upgrading infrastructure across multiple buildings constructed in different eras, often without reliable as-builts. Supported by state funding and strong collaboration with local officials, the project demanded speed, transparency and disciplined scope control. Working alongside JLL as owner's representative, the team balanced immediate operational needs with future campus transformation, reusing, tightening and strategically investing to maximize community value. This session goes beyond logistics. We will share the decision-making frameworks and design strategies that kept an active hospital open, safe and future ready - demonstrating how public investment, when paired with thoughtful planning, can accelerate equitable healthcare transformation.Show MoreClick the title to see all detailsShow More
