Russell Phillips & Associates is a team of fire, code compliance and emergency management experts, providing specialized services to healthcare facilities throughout the US and Canada. Since 1976, we have provided unparalleled service to thousands of healthcare facilities (more than 1,300 current clients representing 2,200 healthcare facilities). Our experience has been acquired from hands-on involvement in regional and national incidents, participation in professional associations and committees, and continuous industry research. Our clients range in size from small ambulatory centers, stand-alone long term care facilities, and 1000+ bed medical centers to the healthcare facilities of an entire county / state. Serving only healthcare facilities, we concentrate on ensuring the highest level of safety is achieved for our clients. We understand how regulations and standards impact a facility and its patients/residents, so we bring a unique expertise to our projects. For healthcare facilities and state/county health departments, the importance of the fire and emergency management programs have significantly increased due to critical incidents throughout the US. Facilities have been devastated by disasters from terrorist situations to fires, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes and ice storms. These disrupt a facility’s ability to deliver care. The volume of higher acuity patients in healthcare facilities makes it crucial to have response programs in place during an emergency.
