Architecture and engineering firm Goodwyn Mills Cawood (GMC) has promoted several healthcare team members to new leadership positions across its footprint. Led by Vice President of Healthcare Steve Alby, AIA, GMC’s national healthcare practice aims to design patient-centered, cost-effective spaces for accessible and efficient care delivery.
“We have seen significant growth of our practice over the past several years,” Alby said. “These changes are about ensuring we have the right leadership in place to support that growth, strengthen client relationships and continue delivering thoughtful, high-quality solutions. It’s a proactive step that allows us to serve our clients more effectively as their needs evolve.”
Clint Cassetty, Ashley Congemi, Jack Monroe and Nathan Arceneaux have been named regional practice leaders for their respective geographies throughout the Southeast.
With GMC’s acquisition of Cassetty Architects in Nashville, Tenn., in 2025, Cassetty was appointed as the Healthcare Regional Practice Leader for Tennessee. Cassetty has 35 years of experience and founded his own firm in 1988. Recent notable projects designed by the Cassetty Architects team include the Advanced Surgery Center of Sarasota, Fla., Orlando Ophthalmology Surgery Center and the University Surgery Center expansion in Winter Park.
Congemi will lead as the Healthcare Regional Practice Leader for the Gulf Coast. Congemi has international experience after spending five years in Dubai, China and Egypt designing facilities. Her other 15 years of experience have led her to work on some of the firm’s largest projects throughout the Southeast, including the SGMC Health Women and Infants Center in Valdosta, Ga.
Monroe is serving as the Central Florida Healthcare Regional Practice Leader. Monroe has been in the industry for 23 years and is known for his meticulous approach to care design. His wealth of knowledge and passion for providing patients and staff with optimal care elevate his proven track record in the Central Florida region, including working on the under-construction Health First Palm Bay expansion project slated to break ground this year.
Arceneaux will serve as Healthcare Regional Practice Leader for Alabama. He has over a decade of architectural design experience with a focus on care planning and has contributed to some of the largest healthcare projects in the Southeast. Arceneaux was also recently named Top 40 Under 40 by the Birmingham Business Journal. He has been instrumental in several notable projects, most recently including Baptist Health’s Medical Center East Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Expansion and the Southeast Health Freestanding Emergency Department.
In addition, the firm identified three key individuals to lead the technical and operational aspects of the practice. Anne Kellerman has six years of experience and is now GMC’s Healthcare Interior Architecture Leader after excelling on various projects. Paul Fridl is the Healthcare Practice Quality Leader with 48 years of experience as a project architect with a keen focus on construction documents. David Connick has 30 years of combined experience in operations and architecture, making him a great fit to lead healthcare operations.
For GMC, healthcare design has long been an essential aspect of the built environment. With this team’s fresh perspective and innovative ideas, it has and will continue to have a significant impact on healthcare design.
