“The only true limitations that exist are the ones you yourself create and accept”
BIOGRAPHY
Jeffrey Charles Hardy is the Founder and President of Care for Peace 501(c)(3), an international nonprofit that most recently completed a 6-year pilot project for the Myanmar government – a prototype, tele-connected community development and health center in a “deep rural” village that was slated for replication in 250-plus villages throughout the country but the Union Military Coup of February 1st 2021 put an end to the new democratic reign, the free market economy, and the creation of a national, rural health network promulgated by Care for Peace. (www.careforPeace.com).
Jeff is a 45-year veteran healthcare system, service and facility planning and design consultant. After selling his consulting company to a
Fortune-500 firm, Jeff also developed hospitals and healthcare systems for Kaiser Foundation International in the Bahamas, Bahrain, Curacao
N.A., Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, among others.
As a recognized industry leader, Jeff has been invited to write articles for the American Hospital Association, the Center for Healthcare Design and the Patient Safety and Quality organization.
Jeff’s articles range from his management innovations, such as the complete merger of all hospital support departments with his Patient Administration concept, to his hospital design innovations such as The Mini-Hospital – Re-envisioning the Emergency Department, Patient-Safe Hospital Design and the NO Hidden Patient hospital.
Although Jeff is not an architect that didn’t stop HCA Healthcare, the largest hospital owner in America, from commissioning Jeff to design PineLake Medical Center in Mayfield, Kentucky, around all of his innovative patient care management concepts. SunLink Healthcare, Inc., a multi-hospital chain, recently commissioned Jeff to plan and design the first “NO Hidden Patient” hospital in Ellijay, Georgia. The North Georgia Medical Center will open its doors in early 2009.
His most recent articles on “NO Hidden Patient” have been widely received and recognized as being so innovative that the American Hospital Association wrote an article about Jeff in the July, 2007 issue of Health Facilities Management Magazine, Hospitals Weigh ‘No Hidden Patient’ Hospital Design Model.
Jeff recently created the Association for System-Based Healthcare and has been on the healthcare speaking circuit with most recent presentations for the World Research Group’s national conferences in Washington DC and Chicago.
In March, 2007, the 32,000 physician-member California Medical Association passed a “NO Hidden Patient resolution” that recommends all hospitals throughout California utilize Jeff’s “maximum patient safety” design criteria in all new facility designs.
Dr. Jack Lewin, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of the 35,000 physician member American College of Cardiology has become a primary supporter of Jeff’s “NO Hidden Patient” campaign. Dr. Lewin is currently introducing Jeff to members of the House and Senate. Included are Hon. Pete Stark, Chairman, Healthcare Subcommittee of the House Ways and Means Committee, and Max Baucus, Chairman, Senate Finance Committee (responsible for the MediCare budget.)
In June 2010 Jeff announced that El Camino Hospital, “The Hospital of Silicon Valley” will develop a new corporation, System Healthcare Corp. that will be providing the most high-tech medical and clinical quality, qualification and real-time telemedicince consultation to HEDS’ developing country healthcare cities, hospitals and medical centers.
You might understand one or more problems, but you can’t implement a solution if you don’t have the ability to do it: if you don’t have the tools, the resources, or if you don’t have technical or expert support.
Care for peace is a global mandate to nudge human evolution away from its unplanned origins—the First Human Evolution—to a planned model of our own creation—the Second Human Evolution.
