Tomah Health Replacement Critical Access Hospital Health and Wellness Campus

As the definition of health moves beyond the simple absence of illness, healthcare spaces must adapt to foster strong partnerships for health and wellbeing. From regional, community, and critical access hospitals to specialty pediatric, ambulatory care, and freestanding emergency/urgent care facilities, our healthcare environments are patient-centric and staff-friendly, welcoming and comfortable, and empowering and intuitive.

BWBR designs healthcare facilities that support the physical, spiritual, emotional, and social needs of patients, families, and staff, resulting in increased patient satisfaction, expanded services, more efficient workflow, and easier recruitment.

MASTER PLANNING

BWBR has completed over 100 master plans in the last 10 years and about 90% of our work begins with a master plan. We embrace master planning as a critical component to the success of an organization, especially in healthcare. BWBR helps clients create master plans in order to evaluate existing facilities, help project space needs, and develop options.

REMODELS & RENOVATIONS

As a relationship-based organization, many of BWBR’s client partnerships go back decades. Due to these relationships, a significant portion of our healthcare work is comprised of renovation projects, often in challenging existing conditions. These span the gamut of every space found within a hospital or clinic from offices and administrative areas to highly technical pharmacies and surgical suites.
