Ted Ritter teaches a seminar on Managing Healthcare Facility Design and Construction for the American College of Healthcare Executives two to four times a year.

Ritter also provides seminars on-site to organizations considering capital improvement projects. A brief outline of the seminar includes:

“Few construction projects are as complex and carry as much risk as new hospital construction or a major expansion. The Ritter Construction Management team delivers. They do what they say they will do and they are a true owner’s representative. I would use them again without hesitation. I give them my highest recommendation.” Ken DeFurio, President & CEO Butler Health System
