SJ Healthcare Advisory Services
SJ Group is a globally renowned design and infrastructure company serving clients in 120 offices across 40 countries.
SJ Healthcare Advisory, a division of SJ Group, draws on this global experience while operating as an independent, advisory-led practice in the United States. Our healthcare clients range from small health systems to complex, multi-state hospital networks in both the private and public sectors. We help clients navigate complex challenges, bringing an innovative, flexible and resilient approach to facility and capital decision-making.
Why do clients turn to us for their facility planning needs?
SJ Healthcare Advisory’s unique market capability lies in our proven experience leading health systems on the owner-operator side. We’ve sat at the leadership table in health systems; we know what matters. We operate upstream of design, and collaborate with architecture partners to support clearer scope, fewer changes, and more successful outcomes. Engaging with SJ Healthcare Advisory will help clients maximize value from investments, reduce downstream risk, and achieve faster approvals and execution.
Enduring Partnerships. Proven Solutions.
With a global portfolio of award-winning projects and decades of experience, SJ understands the evolving challenges and opportunities in healthcare. Our expertise spans strategic facility planning for both new construction and complex renovations in live clinical environments.
With a track record of repeat clients and proven results, we collaborate to develop strategic solutions that ensure long-term success in a rapidly changing industry.
Facility Planning ROI
Planning and design play a critical role in shaping a facility’s lifetime costs and return on investment. Our healthcare advisory team focuses on the PLAN phase—where just 2% of upfront investment can influence 23% of construction costs and up to 75% of long-term operational expenses—maximizing value before design decisions are made.
