Specialized Care for Multiple Healthcare Relocation Projects

Background

One of the world’s most respected centers devoted exclusively to cancer patient care, research, education, and prevention sought a dependable healthcare relocation partner capable of handling a series of complex projects. In providing the highest quality of care, this premier cancer center in Houston aims to maintain a safe environment that empowers and prioritizes the health and well-being of students, trainees, professionals, employees, and the public. The cancer center needed an integrated healthcare relocation framework that limits the strain on internal resources, provides swift resolution, and flexible medical moving services for every need – ensuring continuity of care and minimum disruption.

As a leading medical office moving company, Suddath’s comprehensive infrastructure of medical moving and lab relocation services was a perfect match for the center’s intricate facility management tasks. Below are two key projects Suddath facilitated.

PROJECT 1

Challenge

In preparation for an administrative department rotation, the cancer center needed help relocating employees and their personal belongings, desktop accessories, files and equipment. The project involved a two-floor sweep, from multiple origins, and an unfortunate water leak causing major damage to the space.

Solution

Being the healthcare provider’s priority partner, Suddath expedited an employee relocation plan within a couple of days to assist in transitioning their staff. Our onsite project managers mapped out a timeline providing packing support, secure crate transport of records, desktop equipment disconnect, reconnect, and ongoing support to help employees quickly settle in their new space.

With efficient communication and the expertise to pivot around unforeseen events, our Houston project managers skillfully executed a successful project while an emergency water repair company managed the affected areas.

PROJECT 2

Challenge

Relocating a doctor’s office in the cancer center’s main building required experienced lab movers to transport a small laboratory that housed an incubator, refrigerator, and computer equipment. With biological samples and chemicals present, special handling of the medical equipment was vital to ensure the safe removal of hazardous materials.

Solution

Suddath worked closely with the cancer center’s facility administrator to coordinate biosafety preparations pre-move. The admin performed laboratory closeout procedures, such as standard assessments, biohazardous material packaging, and documenting assets cleared for transit.

Wrapped in protective materials to prevent movement or damage during transport, the medical equipment was safely moved by our lab relocation specialists to another location on campus. Suddath also provided IT relocation support to help disconnect the doctor’s computer equipment and install the technology in the new office space.
