Webinar: Early Capital Planning Phases, September 24

Is your health center considering a renovation, expansion, or new site? The success of any capital project is determined long before the first blueprint is drawn.

The early planning phases -where strategic vision meets operational and financial reality – are the most crucial. This webinar will provide your leadership team with a proven framework to navigate this complex process, align your project with community need, and build a compelling case for funders.

Join Capital Link, a national nonprofit with over 30 years of experience guiding health centers through $1.6 billion in successful capital projects, for this essential deep dive into early-stage planning.

What You Will Learn:

In this actionable session, our experts will guide you through the sequential steps of early project planning:

  • Strategic Alignment:
    • How to ensure your capital project is driven by your mission and informed by a robust, board-led strategic plan, as required by HRSA.
  • Market Justification:
    • Learn how to use data from UDS, EHB Forms, and market mapping tools to define your service area, identify unmet need, and quantitatively justify expansion.
  • Operational Assessment:
    • Methods to evaluate your current operations, staffing, and workflows to forecast future needs and avoid simply recreating existing bottlenecks in a new space.
  • Financial Readiness:
    • How to assess your organization’s financial capacity and debt readiness to undertake a capital project sustainably.
  • The Functional Program:
    • An introduction to translating your operational needs into a preliminary space plan – the essential document that guides architects and funders.

This webinar is designed for health center leaders and teams involved in strategic growth planning, including:

  • CEOs, COOs, and CFOs
  • Board Members
  • Facilities and Operations Directors
  • Project Managers and
  • Development and Strategy Staff
