Description
When Sixteenth Street Community Health Clinics partnered with Kahler Slater to assess their facilities and operations, they were shocked when an in-depth data analysis revealed that no additional space was needed to meet their current demand and anticipated short-term growth. The focus shifted to how they could utilize current assets with a strategy to deliver healthcare as a system, rather than as individual clinics. Refreshing spaces to unify their brand and standardizing operations would drive an ideal patient and staff experience. The more strategic they were with their resources, the more readily they could serve their communities, now and into the future. HSW
