As JC&A celebrates 30 years of building our legacy together, we're proud to share another milestone in that journey. Last night, we had the honor of celebrating our recognition as one of the Boston Business Journal's Best Places to Work at the Westin Copley Hotel. While we're proud to be recognized year after year, this achievement reflects more than what we've built—it reflects how we've built it. For 30 years, our success has been rooted in our people, our relationships, and a culture that puts teamwork, trust, and doing the right thing at the center of everything we do. We're especially proud to announce that JC&A ranked #2 in the medium-sized company category. Congratulations to our fellow honorees, and thank you to the Boston Business Journal for a wonderful evening of celebration.

We Build…® Healthcare JC&A recently partnered with Beacon Capital Partners, Perkins&Will and Fitzmeyer Tocci to deliver a 15,000 SF medical office space for Personal Physicians HealthCare, a concierge-style primary care group at Wellesley Gateway. The new space features multiple private medical offices and examination rooms, a large lobby and reception area, labs, a conference room, and a staff lounge. Careful attention was given to engineering in the exam rooms for comfort, sanitation and air quality. Additionally, sound attenuation was a major focus with NRC and CAC accommodations for privacy for HIPA compliance. Partitions, ceilings and wall treatments were all carefully built and finish selections made to align with a private environment for PPHC’s patients. As Founding Partners of Team IMPACT, we are we know first-hand how important good healthcare is to people’s lives. It’s personal to us and we’re proud to be one of the go-to construction management firms for many of the largest national firms in Healthcare, as well as a trusted general contractor for local medical offices and healthcare companies like Personal Physicians!

That’s the lesson that Sarah has taught Cory, her Team IMPACT match on the Bentley Swim & Dive team. “She always includes me. She came to visit me and cheered me up when I broke my arm. She takes me to special events. I love her so much! The best friend ever!” says Cory. This is what Team IMPACT is all about! Read more about their special bond here: bit.ly/4u4zFmh JC&A is incredibly proud to be founding partners of Team IMPACT.
