Constructing with Care Podcast: DPR’s 2025 Emerging Healthcare Construction Leaders

Healthcare construction doesn’t fail because teams lack technical skill. It fails when teams don’t fully understand the why behind the space.

That’s the gap the Healthcare Fellowship program was designed to close. Now in its second year, the 2025 cohort of DPR’s Healthcare Fellowship program fostered more than 20 healthcare construction professionals into the business leaders of tomorrow.

On the latest episode of Constructing with Care, hear directly from customers, mentors and participants in the cohort how the program equips builders with exposure to clinical operations, funding models, and patient-centered care—not as theory, but as context for better decision-making. When builders understand how a space impacts patient flow, staff experience, and clinical outcomes, projects become more predictable and more valuable.
