About Criterion

Since 2005, Criterion Healthcare has assisted smaller not-for-profit hospitals with implementation of their facility expansions, renovations and new facilities.

THE DELIVERY OF CARE

Criterion Healthcare was founded on the core principle of placing the emphasis of any healthcare facility development on the “Delivery of Care.” Our decisions are based on how real estate can enhance healthcare delivery NOT on how healthcare can enhance real estate investments. This emphasis stands in stark contrast with the traditional aims and goals of commercial real estate concerns.

Groundbreaking
AdvantageousOwnership

Advantageous Ownership is a broad strategic effort that strives to offer not only the financial but, also deeper cultural and emotional values and benefits of facility ownership to those who provide and truly further the delivery of care in the community. Contact us today, and we will be happy to discuss this in greater detail with you.
