Nashville, the Healthcare City... "There has always been a tremendous spirit of collegiality among company leaders and their teams here, and, as more and more healthcare companies put their roots down in Nashville, we see ever-increasing levels of collaboration in our work to tackle industry issues, ignite innovation, and improve healthcare overall," said Tim Hingtgen CEO of Community Health Systems. What's Next for the Healthcare Hub... "The leadership [in Nashville] has been really intentional about bringing along not just the core industry of health care, but bringing along those service provider companies partnering with local people, growing those firms as the core business of healthcare grew," Apryl Childs-Potter, President of the Nashville Health Care Council said. "That means that as we've entered into an era of different kinds of innovation, we're seeing these hospital systems for example, find ways to partner with new technology companies."

#TeamMeridian had the opportunity to attend the GlobeSt.com Healthcare Real Estate Conference in Scottsdale, AZ last week, and left inspired by the insights and optimism shared throughout the event. Here's a quick rundown of key takeaways: Growing Optimism for 2025 While 2024 showed improvement over the previous year, the industry is looking forward to a return to historical transaction volumes in 2025. Lenders and equity groups anticipate increased allocations for healthcare, and a backlog of deals is expected to kick off strong in Q1.   Healthcare Real Estate: A Resilient Sector Despite rising interest rates and constrained liquidity, healthcare real estate remains a top choice for investors. Traditional assets like medical office buildings and hospitals continue to perform well, while alternative assets such as ambulatory surgical centers and behavioral health centers offer higher yields and new opportunities.   Changing Healthcare Delivery Models Trends like "medtail" and the shift toward outpatient, community-based care reflect evolving patient needs. These changes are driving demand for strategically located facilities, bolstered by private equity investment.   Demographics Drive Demand As keynote speaker John Chang emphasized, healthcare real estate benefits from demographic tailwinds. Demand is surging across all metros, with the Sun Belt leading the way. Even amidst challenges like labor shortages, the sector is outperforming other asset classes. Healthcare real estate is poised for growth, innovation, and resilience. We're excited to be part of an industry that continues to adapt and thrive in the face of change. #HealthcareRealEstate #HREConference #InvestmentOpportunities #RealEstateInnovation

Although one of the shorter annual conferences, #BOMAmedical always packs a lot of great information in a short period of time- as well as some of the best networking around! Always enjoy connecting with hometown compadres including Meighan Williams, Michael Arvin, Kenneth Henry Angel Benschneider Kyle Marden - while expanding connections with organizations nationwide. Insightful sessions help us weed through the standard industry buzz and on to details that drive solutions and understanding of what healthcare systems and medical building owners are focused on. One in particular brought C-Suite leadership together to discuss real estate strategies being implementing, from prioritizing capital market decisions to developing strategic partnerships. The panel, Navigating Healthcare Real Estate in the New Normal, brought together Travis Messina Andrew Haslam Scott Brinker Mike Conn and Kerrie Christensen to share solutions, critical thinking perspectives and illustrate ways strategic partners can support and partner with health systems to bring much needed space to the market. Another session that provided valuable takeaways focused on strategies to leverage core and non-core assets. This is coming up more and more as institutions look to increase reimbursements and revenue. Joe Fogarty Angie Weber Ashley Krueger Brannan Knott John Fard, PhD discussed Outpatient facility growth- and it’s changing delivery model. Many institutions are focusing on ambulatory care, and looking at how to compete based on the market response. One common theme- #flexibility and operational #efficiencies, leveraging assets long term, co-locating service lines and planning for future growth. Efficiency and quality of the spaces is part of the business plan. Not everyone stays to the very end of these conferences. In this case staying had a major payoff with one of the most valuable sessions I heard: Active shooter Aftermath- how to Rebuild. I hope never to be anywhere near an active shooter situation, but having experts who’ve been through it and share their insights on what to do- and not do- from a business perspective in the aftermath of an incident was invaluable. It’s so important to rebuild a sense of #security and #community. Details matter. Thank you Alisa Childers Peters Mark Dukes Nelson Price, CHPA, Veteran Orlando Ojeda.   Conferences aren’t easy to put together so I applaud everyone involved. 👏. #healthcare #mob #development #plantodayfortomorrow Devenney Group Ltd., Architects

When we talk about health, we’re looking beyond hospitals and clinics. It’s about the environments we live in, the connections we share, and the purpose that brings us together. Over the past six years, our work in North West Surrey Health and Care Alliance—alongside Ashford and St. Peter's Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, the NW Surrey Alliance, HLM Architects, and local organisations like Tribe—has shown what’s possible when health becomes part of everyday life. By bringing together public services, businesses, and social organisations, we’ve reimagined what’s achievable through collaboration. At our #BeMore Breakfast, we’ll explore the stories, insights, and partnerships behind this work, all captured in our new report, ‘Let’s Start with People – Creating a Health Innovation System in Surrey': https://lnkd.in/erKAYPsV This is an opportunity to discuss how cross-sector collaboration has not just transformed services but reshaped lives—offering practical recommendations for scaling impact and driving change. Date: 11th December 2024 Time: 8:00 AM – 9:30 AM Location: Online We’ll reflect on how innovative, people-first thinking can influence placemaking and create healthier, stronger communities. Your insights would add so much to this conversation. Space is limited, so register now via Eventbrite—we’d love for you to join us. https://lnkd.in/eCuzZre4 #HealthInnovation #Placemaking #Collaboration

Fun session at the Connect CRE Healthcare Real Estate Conference with Murray W. Wolf of #HREI and Bryan Johnson of CBRE . Here are a few highlights: - Economic and Market Trends: With easing inflation and anticipated Federal Reserve rate cuts, the healthcare real estate market is navigating through a new a period of adjustment. Transaction volumes for medical outpatient buildings (MOBs) have seen significant changes. - Emerging Developments: The session underscored the rapid growth of standalone surgical centers and mixed-use healthcare facilities. This trend not only addresses the demand for outpatient services but also highlights the industry's move towards more integrated and patient-centered care models. - Challenges and Strategies: Healthcare systems are grappling with talent retention and the need for infrastructure that supports evolving care models. Creative real estate strategies, such as developing workforce housing or repurposing empty office spaces, are being explored as solutions to these challenges. - Public-Private Partnerships: The discussion on a health system's acquisition to establish a medical school in Charlotte through a public-private partnership (PPP) exemplified innovative approaches to addressing healthcare education and talent retention in the industry. - Technology and Security: There's a pressing need for secure environments and networks to protect sensitive patient data amidst the shift towards remote work and digital healthcare services. - Investment and Monetization: The session also highlighted how healthcare systems are exploring strategies to optimize their real estate portfolios, working with REITs and private investors to leverage market trends and conserve resources. As leaders in this market navigate these transformative times, it's clear that adaptability, innovation, and a patient-centric approach are key to thriving in this complex landscape. #HealthcareRealEstate #CRE #HealthcareInnovation #ConnectHealthcareConference #Adaptability #PatientCentricCare #impactrealestate #goteam

Huge thank you to Richard Kelley for putting on yet another fantastic InterFace Conference Group Healthcare Real Estate Conference last week in Dallas. The day was filled with great discussion, knowledgeable panelists and reconnection with peers. According to Meridian’s Michael Arvin, here are some key takeaways from the event:   The investment markets remain unstable, though optimism is building for a recovery in 2025, driven by high equity expectations, rate cuts, and strategic dispositions of non-core assets. Seller activity is accelerating with shorter timelines, and end-user interests have surged 200% since 2021. A Q4 pickup is anticipated, with 1031 exchange activity on the rise. In healthcare, delivery models are focusing on meeting patients in their communities, including new micro-hospitals and a shift away from telehealth, which has decreased significantly post-COVID, except in cancer care. Development trends are centered on non-CON states, where higher interest rates are expected to drop, spurring growth, while construction costs stabilize. Systems are repositioning assets and are open to third-party capital, particularly in healthy lifestyle communities and workforce housing near hospitals. Despite the rising need for behavioral health facilities, investment remains limited, though public entities are showing willingness to fund development.   Looking forward to next year! #InterFaceHealthcareRE  

Its a great honor to be apart of the Buffalo community, a city renowned for its resilience and spirit of innovation in the face of challenges. Today, I want to bring focus to a sector that is chaining the game - our healthcare system. All of us are well aware of the hurdles our medical institutions grapple with - personnel scarcity being one of the most pressing. Yet, we have risen admirably to these challenges by harnessing technology and automation to great effect. Take a moment to consider the revolution within revenue cycle management. Automation has drastically reduced billing and claims-processing errors, making reimbursements quicker and more accurate. This is not about superseding human skills. Rather, it's about amplifying their effectiveness, reducing their burden, and allowing them to return their focus to what they excel at - providing exceptional patient care. Moreover, automation within our healthcare ecosystem isn't purely about efficiency and cost-effectiveness. It's about enhancing the patient experience as well. Automated appointment reminders and follow-ups ensure that we, as patients, feel acknowledged and taken care of. Buffalo's approach embodies the city's essence - a heady mix of tradition and innovation, striving relentlessly for better ways to serve its residents. As part of the Buffalo community, we are seamlessly navigating these challenges, becoming stronger each day. We're not just surviving - we're thriving, innovating, and emerging as a shining example of healthcare excellence.
