Wilson & Co General Contractors presents Blue Prints to Punch Lists: The Healthcare Edition.

We're GC's - and we do a TON of work in the Health Care Facility space. We build them ground up and we do build-out renovations. It matters that we do this well and our whole industry needs to continue to be filled with professionals who care. So... we are having the conversation out loud so that this rising tide can float all boats.

Think about what doing this work well means for everyone? More efficient spend at hospitals means more focus on patients. We're patients and so are you, every now and then. This matters for our collective health. It also matters for business health in the healthcare industry and in our own corner in the construction space. This means secure jobs, paychecks made on time at fair pay, and full nights sleep because our professionalism allows us to rest well.

Yes, this podcast is rather niche. It's also rather important that this niche does what we do well and we're so excited to have this conversation.

If you're in the biz, don't just listen... reach out!! Suggest ideas for topics. Say hello. Join us on an episode perhaps.

Subscribe to this show and be a part of the conversation.

Here's to doing this thing well in 2025!

Signed,

The Wilson & Co Team
