Hammes Healthcare celebrates opening of GBMC HealthCare Louis and Phyllis Friedman Building


The new Louis and Phyllis Friedman Building is one of two major capital projects Hammes is managing as part of GBMC’s Promise Project. The other is the Sandra R. Berman Pavilion, a new 70,000-square-foot cancer center that will open in early 2025. Hammes was first engaged by GBMC in June 2019 to develop the budget for the Promise Project program and facilitate the Certificate of Need (CON) process with the State of Maryland.

“I can say with certainty The Promise Project would not have finished on time and on budget without the skillful leadership of Hammes,” said Russ Sadler, GBMC Senior Director of Planning, Construction and Design. “Under their leadership, the project was completed on time, and on budget, something that was, and is, unheard of in today’s economic climate. We will be forever grateful for Hammes for not just leading but becoming part of our culture at GBMC.”

“It has been a pleasure to work alongside GBMC and our project partners over the past four years on The Promise Project,” said Nancy Connolly, President of Hammes Healthcare. “We are so proud to see the new GBMC Louis and Phyllis Friedman Building open to patients and look forward to our continued partnership with GBMC as we work to complete the new Sandra R. Berman Pavilion.”
