#WilmotSanzServes
Our firm is committed to serving others—through volunteering our time, fundraising, and hands-on service that strengthens the communities where we live, work, and design. By supporting healthcare-focused charities, wellness initiatives, and community programs, we extend our mission of healing beyond design.
We regularly volunteer with Manna Food Center, lending a hand in sorting, packing, and distributing food to help fight hunger and support families across Montgomery County.
Each year, we sponsor and join a team for the Inova Health System StarKid 5K, supporting pediatric patients and families while promoting wellness and community spirit.
We also support caring environments for our animal friends! Our interiors team designed and built a bespoke pet retreat with Patterns for Paws working with Homeward Trails Animal Rescue.
In partnership with Bridge Commercial Real Estate Group, we host an annual Holiday Giving Drive supporting the Salvation Army Angel Tree, helping provide gifts and essentials to children and families in need during the holiday season.
The team proudly participates in multiple charity golf tournaments each year, raising funds to support our clients’ healthcare institutions and advance their missions of care and community well-being.
Our team supports the local Ronald McDonald House by preparing home-cooked meals and assembling care kits that bring comfort and support to families with children receiving medical care.

Project Manager
I’ve spent my entire career learning and growing at Wilmot Sanz because hospital design keeps me endlessly inspired. A hospital blends so many different building types—residential, hospitality, retail, and clinical—all under one roof. It’s like designing a small city that touches every part of people’s lives in their most vulnerable moments.
