What Jensen Partners does

Jensen Partners is a privately-held, women-led healthcare planning and consulting firm founded in 2002 by Sarah Meeker Jensen FAIA and headquartered in Los Angeles, California, operating under the legal entity Jensen Construction Management, Inc. The firm provides four interconnected service lines to healthcare organizations: Strategic Healthcare Planning (market analysis, network distribution, service line growth, financial modeling, feasibility assessments), Campus and Facilities Planning (master planning, infrastructure assessments, seismic compliance, project phasing), Operational Planning and Implementation (care delivery modeling, utilization benchmarking, change management, crisis preparedness), and Project and Construction Management (owner's representation, HCAi coordination, activation).

The firm operates as a boutique consultancy with 11-50 employees and additional offices in Seattle, Boulder, Chicago, and Washington DC, delivering services through customized multidisciplinary teams composed of strategists, clinicians, medical planners, architects, operations specialists, financial experts, and project managers. It does not sell a proprietary software platform; rather, its core technical assets are proprietary benchmarks and metrics evaluating physical experiences of employees and patients at hospitals, combined with deep regulatory expertise — particularly California HCAi coordination and seismic compliance planning for healthcare facilities.

Jensen Partners generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements sold directly to healthcare C-suite and board-level buyers. Multi-year contracts span strategy, planning, and implementation phases. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and engagements are customized to project scope, complexity, team composition, and duration. More than half of new clients come through referrals and invitations based on the firm's reputation. The firm serves health systems, academic medical centers, and public/county health systems exclusively — with a roster of over 100 healthcare organizations including Jefferson Health, Kaiser Permanente, Intermountain Health, Stanford Health Care, UCSF Health, Denver Health, UT Health East Texas, and the LA County Department of Health, with cumulative project work exceeding 30 million square feet across 15+ states.
