SJ Group launches healthcare advisory services in the US market

SJ Group (Surbana Jurong), a Singapore-based urban development and infrastructure consulting firm, has launched a healthcare advisory services practice in the US.

The firm says the move is a significant milestone in its global growth.

SJ Group has more than 60 years of healthcare design expertise, having supported more than 300 health systems with facility, operational, and infrastructure transformation.

The consultancy says it is entering the US healthcare market as hospitals and health systems face pressures in aging infrastructure, access to care, and financial performance.

“Our mission is to help healthcare organizations navigate change and complexity - designing infrastructure that not only supports care delivery today, but is also resilient, adaptable and ready for tomorrow,” said Christy Lindsey, global head of healthcare advisory at SJ.

SJ works with clients ranging from community-based systems to large hospital networks in private and public sectors. The firm says it is unique in the US market for its ability to execute end-to-end project lifecycle solutions.

With an emphasis on sustainable design and resilient infrastructure, SJ’s US healthcare practice will provide offerings in strategic facilities planning, infrastructure planning, operational planning, and capital planning.

SJ was created by the 2015 merger of Surbana International Consultants and Jurong International Holdings and is wholly owned by Temasek, a Singaporean state-owned investment firm. SJ has 16,000 employees globally, including 421 people in its US and Canada operations.

The consultancy provides design, engineering, and program management services for projects in buildings & cities and energy & infrastructure. The firm also delivers integrated solutions in security, mission critical facilities, defense, facilities and asset management, and digital services.
