Backpacks and Big Smiles! VBFA joined the Valleywise Backpack Donation Drive, spreading joy and support to families and students. VBFA had a blast participating in the 2024 Valleywise Backpack Donation Drive at the Mesa Valleywise Community Health Family Resource Center! We loved seeing the kids' faces light up as they picked out their favorite-colored backpacks to start the school year. A big shoutout to Steve Rajakovich and the Valleywise Health Foundation team for organizing this wonderful event. For over 15 years, they’ve been empowering young students in Arizona with school supplies, helping them stay engaged in their education. Here’s to community, education, and brighter futures! #Valleywise_az #BackpackDrive #ValleywiseHealthFoundation #CommunityHealth #BackToSchool #VBFAengineering #SustainableEngineering

We are proud to spotlight our journey in transforming healthcare in rural communities through the design and renovation of Critical Access Hospitals. With projects spanning from Cedar City Hospital in Utah to Bridgton Hospital in Maine, our commitment to enhancing healthcare accessibility and quality is unwavering. As Utah's top healthcare engineers, we understand that every element of a hospital's design impacts patient care. In rural settings, where resources are often limited, efficient MEP systems ensure reliability, sustainability, and the adaptability needed to meet the unique challenges these communities face. Additionally, we design with climate resilience and healthy indoor environments at the forefront.
