Hospital Relocation Performed with Surgical Precision: Graebel Plans and Manages a Multi-Stage Move for St. Anthony Campus
St. Anthony Hospital is recognized nationally for its orthopaedic, neuroscience, cardiovascular and trauma programs. It’s part of Centura Health, the largest healthcare network in Colorado.
