Showcasing Our Expertise at Conferences

This year, Hplex Solutions proudly shared our knowledge and experience at several leading industry conferences. Our own Dan Livanec took the stage at ASHE 2025, co-presenting with partners from Danis, HGA, and Mount Carmel on innovative strategies to fast-track healthcare projects without compromising quality or collaboration. Dan also joined the same partners at the Healthcare Design Conference + Expo in Kansas City, discussing how their teamwork on the Mount Carmel Dublin Hospital overcame market challenges to achieve a 62% increase in labor efficiency through lean tools and a fully integrated team approach.

More Than a Team: Culture & Community Events

At Hplex Solutions, our strength comes from our people and our commitment to the communities we serve. Throughout 2025, we came together for over numerous team and community events that strengthened our bonds and made a positive impact.

Our team culture is built on a foundation of giving back. We made sandwiches for those in need at St. Lawrence Haven, delivered lunches to Habitat for Humanity volunteers, created Kindness Cards for children, packed lunches with Feed The Kids Columbus, volunteered at WARM Westerville, and crafted handmade blankets for My Very Own Blanket.

Internally, we fostered growth and connection through our Lunch & Learn series and, of course, we had plenty of fun! From a "Back to School" themed meeting to our creative Halloween trunk-or-treat and a client appreciation night at a Brewers game, we made sure to celebrate our unique and vibrant team spirit every step of the way.

Looking Ahead to 2026

Reflecting on 2025 fills us with immense pride and gratitude. But the real story is in the lives that will be touched by these new facilities and the community spirit that fueled our efforts.

We are deeply grateful to our incredible partners, our dedicated team, and the communities that have welcomed us. Thank you for being a part of our journey this year. We can't wait to see what we will build together in 2026!
