Working in the Real Estate department gives me the opportunity to see firsthand what goes into developing new practices and new buildings for patient care. It is very rewarding to follow a project through every phase—from early planning and development to opening day—knowing that my department and I play a key role in making it happen for patients and providers.
The role also offers flexibility in work schedules, which supports a healthy work‑life balance. In addition to time spent at my desk, I regularly travel to different buildings, allowing me to work directly with tenants, walk spaces, and see projects in real time. Being out in the field provides valuable context, strengthens relationships, and is a refreshing change from being behind a desk every day.
A significant part of what makes this role enjoyable is the leadership within the department. Upper management and my direct supervisor are knowledgeable, hardworking, and consistently supportive. They foster a collaborative environment, are approachable when questions or concerns arise, and are genuinely invested in both the success of the team and professional growth of individuals. Their leadership sets a strong tone for the department and contributes greatly to our ability to work effectively.
I also have the benefit of close collaboration with planning, project management, procurement, vendors, practice management teams, staff, and physicians. These partnerships are essential to the success of each project and have allowed me to build strong professional relationships across the organization. This level of collaboration enhances communication, supports problem‑solving, and creates valuable networking opportunities while contributing to successful outcomes for our practices and patients.

A challenge of the role is supporting lease work across projects or decisions that involve many stakeholders and phases. Staying informed and aligned is essential, even though the lease function is only one part of the broader project process.
