"Poltronieri Tang has been instrumental in helping us understand what we didn't know or even think about in designing and building . a children's hospital. They are essential in bridging the gap between where we are and where we want to be".

Matt Wain

"Poltronieri Tang brings invaluable experience and insight in the design and planning of children's hospitals. Their advice and guidance were invaluable to us in designing the kind of facility that would serve our patients and our families best. They have a wonderful perspective that also encompasses the needs of staff in order to function optimally in the family centered care setting".

"Those who are fortunate enough to work with Laura Poltronieri will find that she is an insightful coach and colleague. We have worked together on the planning and programming phase of our future Penn State Children's Hospital. Laura and her team listened attentively to our needs and helped us gently reform our vision into something more exciting and comprehensive than we first imagined possible".
