Tory Wolff, the co-founder of the Massachusetts-based firm Recon Strategy, which specializes in healthcare regulations and trends, said healthcare organizations' expansion into suburbs and exurbs is, in part,  driven by patient preferences.

“You want to be readily accessible so that patients will want to, when it’s appropriate, come in to and see a doctor or see nurse so they don’t wait and wait and wait and end up in an [emergency department] with something that’s very serious,” said Wolff.
