Panelists at the recent Bisnow 4th Annual New York Healthcare Summit cited five issues facing healthcare real estate, according to an article on the Bisnow website.
The main issue is the growth of urgent care and ambulatory care facilities.
“It’s all about moving people out of the hospital to the extent that’s possible. Now healthcare systems are seeing a need to use the space they have more efficiently, even as they grow and incorporate more outpatient and ambulatory care," Simone Healthcare Development president Guy Leibler said.
Other issues included managing growth, keeping facilities current, sustainability and storm-proofing.
