UMC Expands Healthcare Focus with Strategic Leadership Moves
Key Highlights
- Leadership promotions strengthen healthcare project development and execution
- Focus on supporting complex work in active hospital environments
- Growing demand for modernization, efficiency and long-term service contracts
SEATTLE/LYNNWOOD, WA — UMC has promoted two key team members to strengthen its healthcare market strategy across the Pacific Northwest, reinforcing its ability to support contractors and healthcare systems on complex capital projects and ongoing facility work.
Audie Wallace has been named Director of Development for the healthcare sector, while Ryan Kodramaz steps into a healthcare-focused Account Manager role.
Leadership Alignment Targets Growing Healthcare Project Demand
The promotions come as healthcare systems face increasing pressure to modernize facilities, improve energy efficiency and maintain uptime in active care environments.
UMC’s updated structure is designed to better align project development, engineering and field execution—critical for contractors working in occupied healthcare facilities where scheduling, safety and system reliability are non-negotiable.
Development Role Focuses on Long-Term Healthcare Partnerships
In his new role, Wallace will lead healthcare market strategy across the region, working with providers, developers and project stakeholders to identify and advance capital projects.
His experience includes major healthcare facilities such as Overlake Medical Center, Swedish Issaquah, Seattle Children’s Bellevue Clinic and Surgery Center, and Harborview projects—spanning academic, regional and specialty care environments.
That background supports a consultative approach to project planning, helping align design, budgeting and long-term facility goals before construction begins.
“The Puget Sound region is known for delivering some of the highest-quality healthcare facilities in the country,” said Wallace. “This change reflects UMC’s commitment to playing a leading role in supporting that standard—both today and as the market continues to evolve.”
Account Management Role Supports Execution in Active Care Environments
Kodramaz will focus on healthcare accounts, building on his experience delivering specialized projects in acute care settings, including recent work supporting UW Medicine.
Experience Across Major Healthcare Systems Strengthens Capabilities
UMC brings experience working with major healthcare providers across the region, including Seattle Children’s, Overlake Medical Center & Clinics and MultiCare facilities.
In addition to large capital projects, the company supports healthcare systems through long-term service agreements, providing maintenance, system upgrades and rapid-response support.
For contractors, that mix of project and service work reflects the ongoing demand for both new construction and retrofit activity in healthcare facilities.
Integrated Approach Supports Complex Infrastructure Work
UMC’s approach combines preconstruction planning, engineering expertise and field execution to help healthcare clients navigate complex upgrades while maintaining patient care operations.
As healthcare systems continue to invest in infrastructure, energy efficiency and resilience, the company’s expanded leadership team is positioned to support contractors and clients across the full project lifecycle.
