Scott Eddy – Principal

He has worked with hospitals, clinics, physician groups, and other healthcare providers to identify their needs, evaluate existing facilities and to provide design services that best maximize operational efficiencies that will allow the providers to follow best practices in the delivery of patient care.

Over the past 30 plus years, Scott has worked on a broad range of healthcare projects from small renovations to large, multi-phase additions for many healthcare institutions and has maintained long-standing client relationships. He has managed the project teams from the planning and design phases through construction to ensure the implementation of the design concepts.
