Healthcare architecture
Supporting patient, staff, and capital needs
At JLG, we are caregivers; we focus on efficiency, durability, and flexibility so your hospital can heal people here at home – by providing better outcomes and infection control, focusing on the recruitment and retention of employees, and using capital to grow, rather than maintain. We do this by never losing sight of the community, so the community never loses sight of you.
JLG’s healthcare studio has been recognized as one of America’s Top 100 Healthcare Architecture Giants, Top 50 Outpatient Facility Architecture Giants, and Top 75 Hospital Facility Architecture Giants by Building Design+Construction The studio features a number of EDAC-accredited staff, reflecting a commitment to evidence-based design and industry leadership in healthcare architecture.
“Our team is dedicated to designing spaces that not only address the unique challenges of rural healthcare, but also prioritize mental health and holistic wellness. By listening closely to our clients and communities, we create environments that foster dignity, connection, and healing for all.”
Todd Medd, Principal Studio Leader
Be Kind to Your Mind
We’ve made it our job to Be Kind to Your Mind. JLG is dedicated to environments that support strong mental health, from healthcare and K12 schools to community centers and collegiate campuses. JLG drives a widespread commitment to mental health initiatives across all of our offices – including paid time off for community volunteerism, 12 free counseling sessions/year, mandatory vacation time. a stigma-free culture, and a sensory-sensitive workplace.
JLG’s Tracy Jordre, Principal Architect & Workplace Expert, is a proud team advocate for mental health awareness, determined to make an impact with neurodiverse-friendly workplaces that help employees thrive together. JLG’s Healthcare Studio Leader, Todd Medd, is an equally passionate advocate within healthcare systems and as the co-founder of the 4-6-3 Foundation, teaming with local organizations to Reduce Stigma, Build Hope, and End Suicide.
“As a society, we have been trained to ignore or minimize the effects of mental health disorders, and it’s devastating. We all have the ability to speak up and acknowledge the signs, solutions, and importance of mental health management at home, in schools, and in the workplace. Breaking the silence and finding new ways to show support for those around us is important because sometimes the warning signs are difficult to see.”
