As a registered architect for over thirty years, Bob is perhaps the only architect in the country who has also served as president and C.E.O. of a hospital and health services foundation. After a successful thirteen-year tenure with Lebanon's Good Samaritan Hospital managing fifteen hundred employees, Bob solidified a long-standing personal and professional relationship with our architectural firm. His first-hand expertise in the field of health care and his love of architectural design has been beautifully combined to produce many facilities in Central Pennsylvania. His attention to detail and sincere care for the individual permeate the design of every project.
