Capital Planning

A major facility renovation, expansion, or replacement is a “once in a generation” opportunity. An event of this magnitude and expense should be built on a solid foundation of significant preplanning from both a design and financial perspective. Given the infrequency of these events, many health care administrators lack experience in planning for a major facility development project and are unaware of the significant complexities and steps involved. Wipfli can help you bridge this gap by providing valuable expertise and knowledge from both facility and capital planning perspectives.

Wipfli believes that a successful facility development project is one that is both affordable and provides for the long-term needs of your organization. By completing the predesigned blueprint outlined below, your organization will be well on its way to a successful facility development project:

St. Luke's Health System


Wipfli helped two St. Luke’s Health System hospitals by assessing the market, developing volume projections and identifying key facility needs in one of the most burgeoning markets in the country. With Wipfli’s industry knowledge and market insights, St. Luke’s could prudently plan its services and confidently ensure its facility investment decisions were sound, pragmatic and based on realistic demand, and therefore would provide the most value. The health system was given a solid, quantitative foundation of understanding on which to base its development decisions. Grounded in valid information, St. Luke’s moved securely toward its vision to meet the health service needs of its communities, now and into the future.
