Jeff Wherry, Vice President and Group Manager of Healthcare at JE Dunn Construction, joins host Owen LaFave to explore why the fast-growing Tampa Bay market is even bigger than we tend to think–and what this means for business leaders seeking to build bridges across the region. Jeff served in the U.S. Army where he disposed of explosives that destroyed buildings; now, he constructs buildings that provide healthcare access to millions. Hear his take on Florida’s new approach to healthcare construction since 2019 and how it is transforming medical care in the region for the better. From the need to bring manufacturing and medicine production back home to the U.S., to the demand for young people to enter the trades, this dynamic conversation covers a lot of ground. Discover how competition among healthcare providers increases patient access and why not even labor shortages or inflation can stop construction in thriving Tampa Bay.
