B. R. Fries & Associates Wins 2026 Association of Medical Facility Professionals GNY Chapter Award for Excellence in “Healthcare Interiors Renovation”
July 22, 2026Today, I had the opportunity to represent B.R. Fries & Associates at BISNOW’s New York Healthcare Conference 2026, where I moderated a panel on “Hospital Expansions: Strategic Healthcare Space Utilization Across Hospital Campuses & Ambulatory Settings.”
It was a great conversation with a fantastic group of panelists who brought real-world perspective and thoughtful insights:
Lydia Guo, Senior Project Manager, Montefiore Health System
Thomas Foley, SVP – Facilities, Development, Planning & Design, Mount Sinai Health System
Sophie Buttiens, Principal, EwingCole
Jon Hernandez, Partner, Gilsanz Murray Steficek
Ray Prucha, Principal, BR+A
We covered how health systems are thinking about long-term healthcare delivery expansion strategies, both on-campus and ambulatory, and the myriad of issues to consider. The discussion was both engaging and highly relevant to where the industry is heading.
Also, a big thank you to the BISNOW team for putting together another excellent event.
