Healthcare changes are reshaping medical real estate

New York City, like most healthcare real estate markets, is seeing an uptick in ambulatory care centers and hospital mergers

By Healthcare Facilities Today


New ambulatory care and outpatient clinics are springing up as hospitals are trying to become more specialized and efficient. The private practice is all but disappearing as doctors bogged down by new paperwork join group practices. And hospital groups are scrambling for the millions of people now required to be insured under the ACA, according to an article on the Commercial Observer website.

New York City now has one of the largest not-for-profit health systems in the country, with the Mount Sinai and Continuum merger, which will combine Mount Sinai’s academic specializations with Continuum’s community hospitals.
