Aurora Health Sinai Medical Center AUWMG

To better serve a rapidly growing patient population, leadership at Aurora Sinai Medical Center developed a strategic relocation plan. They partnered with the Aurora UW Medical Group to successfully transition two essential specialty clinics. Our team meticulously delivered this transformative project in carefully managed phases. This strategic approach minimized disruptions to daily hospital operations within an efficient six-month construction timeframe.

Our firm provided visionary architectural planning and design as part of an Integrated Project Delivery team. This group united design engineers, skilled contractors, dedicated caregivers, and facility leadership at Aurora Sinai Medical Center. Early involvement from all key stakeholders facilitated cohesive, unified planning and efficient construction services.

Our planning process heavily utilized advanced Lean design principles and targeted optimization tools. We hosted strategic Kaizen events to eliminate waste, dramatically improve daily operations, and inspire structural innovation. These collaborative events targeted specific, measurable improvements in the overall patient experience. The enhanced architectural layout significantly optimizes caregiver workflow and greatly improves patient access to premium medical care. Stakeholders collaboratively identified potential risks and implemented proactive solutions. We continuously evaluated innovative opportunities to ensure Aurora Health achieved operational success.

A 3D modeling platform enabled seamless, real-time design coordination across all project disciplines. We implemented a sophisticated Target Value Design approach to improve accurate cost forecasting and precise financial management. This visionary integration ultimately positions Aurora Sinai Medical Center to deliver exceptional, uninterrupted patient care for decades to come.
