Who We Are
CHRA is a Healthcare Consulting Firm that connects the dots in the planning, design and implementation of Healthcare Spaces. We recognize that healthcare is a dynamic, interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary environment that deserves integrated conversations, planning and execution. CHRA facilitates an intentionally built environment that works for patients, health systems, projects and staff alike by bridging the gaps between Clinicians, Owners and Designers.
