EIR Healthcare and MillerKnoll Partner for Factory Built Healthcare Interiors

May 4, 2026 | By Startuprise io

EIR Healthcare, which builds modular clinics, has partnered with MillerKnoll to integrate furniture, casework and interior solutions directly into its factory built process, allowing fully furnished clinics to be delivered ready for patient care from day one.

Under this partnership, interior solutions from MillerKnoll will be integrated directly into EIR Healthcare’s factory production process. At sites like Plant Prefab, furniture and casework will be installed and quality-checked inside the modular units before they leave the factory. This helps solve a major issue in healthcare construction by removing slow, on-site installation work that often delays projects and can affect quality.

EIR Healthcare is using this integrated model for Good Samaritan Hospital clinics in Weedpatch, California, which are funded through California’s $4 billion Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP). The project, expected to open in Q4 2026, underscores the need for faster, high-quality ways to build community behavioral health facilities.

The partnership with MillerKnoll strengthens EIR Healthcare’s ecosystem, which also includes partners like Plant Prefab and Fullstack Modular, using a model similar to those of the aerospace, automotive, and chip industries, where most of the product comes from integrated suppliers rather than final assembly alone.

The partnership is expected to reduce interior fit out timelines by 2 3 months on applicable projects cut down field issues such as damage, missing parts, and rework by completing installation in a controlled factory setting, improve consistency and reliability through mock-up, installation, and testing before delivery and support EIR Healthcare’s broader goal of reducing overall clinic delivery schedules by 20–30%.

"This goes beyond procurement we are aiming to reimagine the healthcare construction supply chain fundamentally," said Grant Geiger, CEO of EIR Healthcare. "Healthcare systems need certainty, predictable schedules, consistent quality and facilities that are ready to operate the moment they arrive. By integrating MillerKnoll into our manufacturing process, we're industrializing a major portion of the clinic build-out and reducing the risks that come with traditional, fragmented construction."

"For healthcare organizations, delays, and disruptions affect when patients can receive care," said Mike O'Toole, Senior Vice President of Healthcare at MillerKnoll. "Partnering with EIR Healthcare allows us to bring design thinking earlier in the construction process, ensuring care environments are ready to support patients once they are installed."

"We strive to work with the best providers in each category," said Geiger. "For casework and furniture solutions designed for healthcare settings, that's MillerKnoll, and integrating them earlier improves delivery outcomes for healthcare systems while creating a smarter, more predictable supply chain for everyone involved."
