As the host of the recent 2026 Winstead Healthcare Real Estate & Construction Forum in Nashville, Tenn., Andy Dow, a healthcare real estate attorney and co-chair of the Real Estate Industry Group with Dallas-based law firm Winstead, relayed just how important health systems and other providers are to everyone involved in the HRE sector.
As he introduced HREI™ Publisher Murray Wolf as the moderator for a panel titled, “The Provider Perspective: Strategy, Growth and Real Estate Partnerships,” Mr. Dow said: “I think the panel that everybody always anxiously waits for the most (is the provider panel), because everybody wants to know what the providers are thinking and what the providers are doing … (as) everything in HRE revolves around them. These folks are our tenants, our customers, our clients, and they are very important to everybody who owns healthcare real estate.”
As noted, the panel was moderated by Mr. Wolf, who said it was his “privilege for the next 45 minutes or so to take (the audience) on a guided tour of what’s happening with hospitals and health systems and their overarching strategies, and then how that manifests itself in terms of their real estate strategies.”
Mr. Wolf opened the discussion by asking one of the panelists, Michael Arvin, president and CEO of Alliance Development Partners in Dallas, to sum up what’s currently happening with and on the minds of the health systems. Alliance is a healthcare advisory and development firm that works with development firms, hospitals, health systems and provider groups.
