Designed to Innovate

The best healthcare designs embed technology from the beginning. That’s why our Clinical Technology Solutions (CTS) consulting team is part of the planning process for healthcare facilities, working with clients from design through on-site installation and staff training. 

We are one of only a few architectural firms with an in-house, healthcare-focused technology solutions consulting team, lending highly specialized expertise to each Hoefer Welker project. In addition, our CTS department consults regularly with some of the nation’s largest architectural firms that lack in-house expertise.  

Our CTS team understands the clinical and functional intent within each area of the project – then interprets those requirements into solid specifications required for design and procurement. 

We know that medical equipment, IT infrastructure, security, audiovisual and clinical communications are as essential to the facility as its mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems. These complex, mission-critical systems require specialized knowledge and care. Our CTS team consults with clients to ensure access to the most innovative technologies in the most cost-effective and efficient way possible for our clients. With our CTS team’s help, we ensure your technology solutions meet both your clinical and fiscal goals.
