LOS ANGELES-Jones Lang LaSalle has named Jason Clark as a managing director to expand the expertise of the firm’s healthcare solutions group in the West. Clark will work with hospitals and healthcare systems in the region, which stretches from Colorado to California.

Clark, who will be based in JLL’s Los Angeles office, joins the company with more than 15 years of experience in the healthcare industry, working directly with and for some of the largest and most prominent healthcare organizations in the country.

Clark most recently served as an executive with the Hammes Co., one of the nation’s leading healthcare real estate consulting and development firms. He was instrumental in creating custom market-based outsourcing solutions for many of the strategic, financial and operating challenges facing the healthcare industry, JLL says in an announcement regarding his appointment.

Clark’s experience covers the full healthcare continuum including acute, ambulatory, and long term care, medical supplies, drug distribution, physician alignment, wellness, and healthcare legislation. His career has focused on helping hospitals and healthcare systems navigate change and create sustainable business solutions that deliver the hospital’s mission. In that capacity he is actively engaged in strategic planning, facilities and project management, development and financing of healthcare facilities.

Peter Bulgarelli, chief operating officer of Jones Lang LaSalle’s healthcare solutions group, commented in a prepared statement: “In working with hospitals and healthcare systems, it is essential to understand the financial and operational pressure points challenging institutions today. Jason’s experiences and understanding of the industry combined with the high calibre of our healthcare professionals across the country make a powerful combination for delivering client-focused solutions.”

“Healthcare organizations are facing intense cost and competitive pressures, and we assist hospitals and other organizations in optimizing their operations and real estate,” added Jan Pope, Jones Lang LaSalle’s Southwest market director. “Jason further expands our expertise in providing innovative solutions to healthcare organizations on the West Coast and nationally.”

Clark graduated from Loyola Marymount University’s Frank R. Seaver College of Science and Engineering with a bachelor’s degree in biology and psychology and a Masters in Health Sciences from the University of New Haven at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

Jones Lang LaSalle has been aggressively expanding its healthcare expertise in the past year. Last month, Jones Lang LaSalle and Pacific Medical Buildings announced the formation of a strategic alliance to deliver ground-up real estate solutions to healthcare organizations. The firm also added a dedicated healthcare capital markets leader with the addition of Joseph Euphrat as the West Coast head. Earlier this month, Jones Lang LaSalle announced the appointment of Sydney Scarborough as a managing director of the healthcare solutions group. Scarborough has more than 30 years of experience in the healthcare industry, including more than a decade at Lillibridge and its predecessor companies.

Jones Lang LaSalle’s healthcare solutions group works with hospitals and health systems throughout the nation delivering program management, strategic consulting, financial strategy, transaction and sustainability advisory services and facilities and property management.
