Health Care Relocations

What Health Care Relocations does

Health Care Relocations is a private, for-profit Canadian professional services firm founded in 1993 and headquartered in Peterborough, Ontario, specializing exclusively in healthcare facility transition planning and physical relocation. The company provides eight interconnected service modules — pre-relocation consulting, transition advisory, patient move planning, facility activation planning, operational readiness planning, physical and patient relocation, equipment installation, and post-relocation consolidation — delivered as an integrated offering under a single provider. This combination of planning and physical execution under one methodology is the company's core architectural choice, positioning it to coordinate precision across all phases of complex healthcare moves while complementing client in-house capabilities. Since inception, HCR has supported over 500 healthcare facilities in successful transitions worldwide, ranging from small clinics to multi-million-square-foot academic hospitals and research laboratories.

The company operates as a pure-play enterprise services provider, with go-to-market executed through direct B2B engagement with hospital administrators, health authorities, and facility owners. Each engagement is a complex, multi-year enterprise sale typically initiated through RFP processes for public healthcare systems or direct negotiation for private facilities. Revenue is generated through customized project-based professional services contracts, with fees determined by scope, facility size, complexity, and duration. The customer base spans large academic medical centers, children's hospitals, teaching hospitals, long-term care providers, cancer centers, and research laboratories across North America, Europe, Scandinavia, and Australia — including marquee engagements with Centre Hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal, Karolinska University Hospital, NIH Clinical Center, Children's Hospital of Atlanta, and UK NHS trusts. Strategic partnerships with CBRE Healthcare (consulting), PCL Construction (P3 construction), and First Mover Group (local physical moving in Scandinavia) embed HCR within prime contractor workflows on major public healthcare capital projects. The firm operates with a lean team of 11-50 employees, leveraging domain specialization and a 30-year track record as the primary differentiators in a niche with limited credible competition.
