“AHFD has kept costs down and kept the project intact from our initial agreed upon concepts to
today's architectural plans. They know how to lead a hospital to a new building economically
and rationally without sacrificing vision or quality. I attribute a significant percentage of our
success in the planning process to build the building that we need and obtain financing to the
efforts of American Health Facilities Development. From Exley Hill and Steve Rutland down to
the support staff in the office, I believe that we would not be where we are today without their
leadership and commitment. I commend them to anyone considering construction of healthcare
projects and believe that they stand head and shoulders above their competition.”
– J. Alan Kent
President and CEO
Meadows Regional Medical Center
"AHFD really guided us through the project. Our project manager came to the hospital and would spend whatever time was necessary to meet with the hospital's leadership, the finance department, and the building committee. Our experience with AHFD was an overwhelmingly positive one. Ultimately, our project was ahead of schedule and on budget.
– Steve Smith
CEO
Matagorda Regional Medical Center
"Caldwell County Hospital's relationship with AHFD has been a win-win situation from day one. Not only did our AHFD Master Facility Plan help us see that a new facility was within reach — financially and otherwise — but also our AHFD Project Management team ensured that the project stayed on schedule and on budget."
– Charles Lovell
CEO
Caldwell County Hospital
"This was the first time I'd ever gone from start to finish on a new construction project. AHFD ensured our hospital was built correctly. They helped us fill the experience gap and ensured the entire delivery team worked together in the most efficient way possible. Because of AHFD, our hospital was completed 6-8 weeks early, which on an 11-month project is amazing. Our customers, our physicians, and our staff are thrilled with the results of our efforts."
– George Rohrich
CEO
The Memorial Hospital
"We build a new facility once every 50 years. I can't imagine taking this project on without the guidance
of AHFD's professionals, who do this every day. They helped us avoid mistakes and kept our costs in line. We
are very proud of our truly beautiful - and extremely functional - hospital."
– Michael Karuschak Jr.
FACHE, CEO

"Our board truly understands and appreciates the value AHFD brought to this project.
I would never hesitate to enlist the services of AHFD for any other project."
– Craig E. Aasved
Former Administrator/CEO
North Valley Hospital
"AHFD's involvement in the entire process, from the master facility plan to the completion of the new
hospital, was vital. AHFD – with Project Manager Mick Rhodes – provided the necessary oversight for our projects, ensuring that
it stayed on time and under budget."
– Kathy Long
CEO
Marshall County Hospital
"Working with you and American Health Facilities Development was a great pleasure. Health care
construction has always been a treat but there have been occasions in the past where projects have been a bit problematic.
This was not the case in working with you. This was pure fun. Our project came in on time and we saved $1 million on this
$11 million project. This all thanks to you and your company.
Our architect, general contractor, and subs were superb. You brought to the table people that could only bring us success.
With the extensive medical staff and surgical staff input into this project, its design and functionality has been just
perfect. Great credit goes to you. I look forward to working with you in the future."
