One of PMB’s 2019 award winners was the 1100 Van Ness MOB in San Francisco.

We’re proud of the PMB team, which exhibited a great deal of creativity and determination to overcome a number of obstacles and deliver these much-needed medical facilities to their respective communities.

SAN DIEGO (PRWEB)

PMB was the big winner this year, becoming the first organization to have three winning healthcare real estate (HRE) development projects in a single year in the prestigious, national HREI Insights Awards™ program.

The PMB winners were: 1100 Van Ness, San Francisco, in the Best Medical Office Building (MOB) 100,000 or more square-foot category; Clinicas de Salud El Centro Health Center, El Centro, Calif., in the Best MOB 25,000-49,999 square-foot category; and Goodyear Medical Plaza, Goodyear, Ariz., in the Best Renovated or Repurposed Healthcare Facility category.

The annual awards, the first exclusively dedicated to recognizing excellence in the areas of HRE development and executive leadership, are presented by Healthcare Real Estate Insights™ (HREI) magazine, a national digital and print magazine that covers HRE development, financing and investment. The awards were presented in nine categories during the GlobeSt Healthcare Conference in Scottsdale, Ariz., Dec. 4.

“We are thrilled that the three healthcare development projects PMB entered in this year’s HREI awards were selected winners,” says Mark D. Toothacre, President of PMB. “We’re proud of the PMB team, which exhibited a great deal of creativity and determination to overcome a number of obstacles and deliver these much-needed medical facilities to their respective communities. These three awards are a great honor and a testament to our team’s hard work.”

The 250,000-square-foot, nine-story 1100 Van Ness facility is the first new multitenant MOB constructed since the 1980s in the highly competitive and regulated real estate market in San Francisco. The building is in a prime central location across the street from the new 274-bed California Pacific Medical Center and affords easy access to major San Francisco neighborhoods. The facility has enabled Sutter Health to better serve the growing population and comply with new California seismic building codes. The MOB and Sutter’s new master plan are allowing the health system and other private practices in the facility to consolidate multiple offices and services, which is decreasing their overall footprint and increasing practice and delivery efficiencies.

Murray Wolf, Publisher of HREI magazine, said the HREI Awards judges had a number of positive comments about PMB’s three winning entries, especially the 1100 Van Ness project. “One of the judges said that 1100 Van Ness was the most complicated project of this year’s competition,” says Mr. Wolf. “Another judge said, ‘A once-in-a-career project in terms of scope, complexity, size and quality. An epic development process and schedule in a great American city. This one has got to be the hands-down winner!’”

The new 45,000-square-foot Clinicas de Salud del Pueblo El Centro Health Center (Clinicas) was needed to expand healthcare services and access for the medically underserved, low-income community of El Centro, Calif., and the greater Imperial Valley. The new clinic also provides a much needed location for local students to complete their medical training/internship programs. PMB arranged for Federal New Markets Tax Credits (NMTC) to help finance the new MOB with 100 percent of the NMTC benefit going to Clinicas. The new MOB is enabling Clinicas to launch new services, including pharmacy, dental and ophthalmology, create 152 new permanent jobs and increase patient capacity by 85 percent.

One HREI Awards judge said of the Clinicas project, “Kudos for delivering such a nice project to an underserved rural area.” Another judge echoed that sentiment: “Love the concept of using New Market Tax Credits and building in underserved areas.”

The Goodyear Medical Plaza in Goodyear, Ariz., was a challenging adaptive reuse project in which PMB converted the outdated, 1980s former Harkins Palm Valley movie theater into a modern, state-of-the-art medical facility. The new 50,000-square-foot MOB is allowing Abrazo Medical Group, an employed physician group for Phoenix-based Abrazo Community Health Network, to expand in the marketplace and serve the rapidly growing population. It also is enabling the physician group to provide additional office space for its newly recruited physicians. PMB brought the repurposed facility to market approximately 50 percent faster than a traditional ground-up construction project, allowing Abrazo to expeditiously reduce its physician shortage in the market.

The HREI judges were equally complementary about the Goodyear Medical Plaza. One noted, “Great reuse of a unique building.”

PMB-developed projects have been named finalists a total of 11 times and winners seven times in the seven years of the HREI awards.

Amitabh Goel, MD

Dr. Goel is a dedicated innovator in the advancement of SCS technologies.

SARASOTA, Fla. (PRWEB)
December 12, 2019

When more conservative therapies have failed, pain management physicians often recommend spinal cord stimulation (SCS or neurostimulation therapy) for chronic pain relief.

SCS technology involves an implantable device that interrupts pain signals before they reach the brain, replacing those signals with a more pleasant sensation. This innovative treatment method has helped thousands of people significantly reduce their pain so they can return to their normal activities.

Dr. Amitabh Goel of Sarasota Pain Relief Centers has a special interest in the field of spinal cord stimulation. He has directly contributed to the advancement of this remarkable technology, having a number of innovative patents on improving the devices used for spinal cord stimulation.

Dr. Goel’s patents include:

• 
  Patent for a paddle lead for spinal cord stimulation introduced percutaneously. This is a method for introducing a paddle lead without performing the traditional open surgery used currently for inserting a paddle lead. [US Patent No.8620456]
• Patent for a novel steering head for percutaneously inserted spinal cord stimulation leads. This is a new lead design with significant advantages in terms of steering the lead inside the spine. [US Patent No. 9114249]
• Electrode Assembly for Spinal Cord Stimulation. Novel electrode configuration for delivering spinal cord stimulation. [US Patent Application No. 0056070]

Dr. Goel has proven to be a dedicated innovator in the advancement of SCS technologies. Sarasota Pain Relief Centers is pleased to have his expert contributions to our team of pain management specialists.
