Sanoviv Medical Institute Project
Licensed as a full hospital, Sanoviv is a fully integrated healthcare facility that provides alternative, allopathic and cosmetic procedures, as well as research and development.
Summary
Situated on a pristine ecological site in Baja California, Sanoviv provides a comfortable and clean environment, where guests receive functional medical therapies to invigorate their immune systems and achieve wellness.
Dr. Myron Wentz initiated the project in 1997, and in 1998 Manzimvula was invited to join the project team to manage the systems, technology, operational and medical protocol and modalities aspects of the hospital’s development.
Manzimvula’s Role & Value
Manzimvula’s Integrative Strategy approach to this project united a variety of specific roles and responsibilities under an organization-wide perspective. Our primary objective was to engender a united organizational community, connecting individual ‘Personal Visions’ to the collective ‘Common Vision’ for the Center. In turn, this would facilitate a flat, collaborative and patient-centric structure.
Our specific responsibility areas for Operational Consulting and Implementation Support included…
- Sourcing, evaluating and procuring medical equipment for the MedSpa, alternative, and allopathic therapies that would be offered at the Institute,
- Supporting the Construction Project Team in the re-development of the existing structures on the property as well as the construction of a new tower and addiitonal medical facilities,
- Identification, evaluation and selection of professional staff, and
- Assistance in the development of the initial health protocols, operational procedures and staff training—both inside the facility and through third party contractors.
The project’s highly complex operational requirements—including diverse responsibilities of individual staff, and a distinctive approach that gives them freedom to demonstrate their individual expertise by stepping temporarily into traditionally ‘senior’ roles on an ad hoc basis—compounded the challenges of launching a new organization.
Our Results
This complex project was initially planned for a two-year engagement; however, Manzimvula’s team successfully brought it to conclusion a full six months ahead of the initial April 2000 target date.
