Teresa believes design can empower physicians to heal, scientists to discover, and healthcare leaders to innovate. She has designed over 30 million square feet of healthcare space which has included the planning of every modality and department within a hospital, outpatient and skilled nursing facility. Her breadth of experience is appreciated by clients and the industry alike - and is the basis for her board position on the HCAI Hospital Building Safety Board, where she chairs two committees and one sub-committee. Teresa’s planning philosophy integrates Lean principles and evidence-based design to create highly efficient healthcare facilities with exceptional patient experience and staff satisfaction.
