A Home in Oklahoma
It was our expansion project for the Oklahoma Heart Hospital South that led us to open an office in Oklahoma City, though JE Dunn has been working in the state since the mid-1980s. That long-standing experience and the surge of healthcare construction were reasons for establishing roots.
