Healthcare Shifts Will Alter Space Use

SCOTTSDALE—The healthcare industry is changing, and it will have significant impacts on the real estate side of the business. Efficiency, flexibility and costs were the major topics of conversation for the 350-plus healthcare professionals and healthcare real estate experts who gathered at the Four Seasons Resort here today for the fifth annual RealShare Medical Office Buildings conference.

The upswing of on-demand healthcare and urgent care services has only just begun, maintained John Shufeldt. To the audience, he added, “It’s a great time to be sitting in the chairs you’re in now.” Shufeldt, CEO of MeMD and a successful medical professional and entrepreneur, sat down for a frank keynote discussion with Real Estate Forum editor-in-chief Sule Aygoren Carranza to open the event.
