Kadean Construction Expands Portfolio by “Building More” in Healthcare Market

Kadean Construction continues to expand its footprint by “Building More” healthcare projects. With two offices in St. Louis and Kansas City, Kadean has vast expertise providing Interior Renovations (Patient Care), Infrastructure and Facility Upgrades, Equipment Replacement (Imaging), Oncology/Cancer Centers, Surgery Centers and Outpatient Treatment Facilities. The firm is a Certified Healthcare Constructor (CHC) through American Society for Health Care Engineering (ASHE), which ensures clients can trust the highly trained expert team they entrust for their healthcare construction projects.

“Now more than ever, the importance of the critical role healthcare plays in the community is at the forefront,” said Kadean’s Vice President of Business Strategy, Aaron Retherford. “That’s why we feel the time is right to reintroduce Kadean Construction to the healthcare market in Kansas City, St. Louis — and beyond — and make these key investments in the industry. We are excited to broaden our reach and share Kadean’s three decades of experience with delivering successful healthcare construction projects to hospitals and clinics throughout the Midwest.”

Over the last 30 years, Kadean has leveraged its experience across a myriad of healthcare projects locally and nationally. With privacy at the forefront and maximizing the patient experience during construction paramount, Kadean has completed projects including the 8,817 square-foot Excelsior Springs Hospital, a 54,000 state-of-the-art inpatient addiction treatment facility for Harris House Foundation in St. Charles, Mo., multiple ambulatory surgery centers nationwide for SurgCenter Development and numerous highly technical projects for BJC HealthCare including radiology, imaging and outpatient clinics and facilities.

In addition to the recent announcement of 20-year healthcare construction veteran — Jeff Yartz — joining Kadean in early 2021, the firm is further demonstrating its commitment to healthcare with two key industry investments:

·         Susan McNamara, Kansas City Business Development Manager, was recently appointed to the Kansas City Area Healthcare Engineers (KCAHE) board of directors. Susan was named Marketing and Outreach Co-Chair. KCAHE is an organization that represents hospitals and their environments of care staff in the Kansas City metropolitan area, and includes members from the states of Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri.

·         On March 11, Kadean will participate in MetroWire Media’s 2021 Healthcare Summit as a Gold Sponsor. The event will feature an expert panel discussing current healthcare trends, opportunities for growth, COVID take-aways, technology and the current state of our healthcare economy.
