The healthcare industry has shifted care away from the inpatient hospital environment to more cost effective, efficient and convenient outpatient settings. Advancements and innovations in medical procedures, technology and pharmacology have driven an increasing shift of more complex cases into ambulatory surgery centers (ASC), outpatient cancer clinics, digital imaging centers, rehab facilities and medical office buildings (MOB).

 

MHM provides ambulatory healthcare real estate solutions for health systems.  We work closely to execute an ambulatory network plan at the lowest possible cost, i.e., medical office buildings with integrated wellness, ambulatory surgery centers, cancer centers, micro-hospitals, freestanding ED’s, and mixed-use healthcare villages. 

 

The future for outpatient real estate is extremely positive as the shift in services from inpatient to outpatient environments continues and the healthcare industry exhibits solid future growth. They satisfy the demands of consumerism and patient satisfaction by offering accessibility, visibility and convenience. Healthcare providers benefit from lower occupancy costs and the ability to develop off-campus facilities to protect and grow market share. With complementary tenancy, MOBs facilitate care coordination, encourage more efficient utilization of services and improve the patient experience.

• Offices of physicians and other health care professionals

• Hospital outpatient departments

• Ambulatory surgical centers

• Oncology Centers

• Specialty clinics or centers, e.g., dialysis or infusion

• Urgent care clinics
