How long does it take to develop a program?
The amount of times it takes to develop a program is dependent on a number of variables. Two of the most critical are whether or not a CON is required and the amount of construction that will be necessary. While Horizon has worked with hospitals to open programs in extremely short time-frames, in general the process should begin 6 to 9 months prior to the projected opening date. If a CON or major construction is required the timeline for program development could be even longer. We would be happy to discuss your specific situation with you and provide you with an estimate of the time necessary to develop a program.
