What are health systems looking for when it comes to developing new medical outpatient buildings (MOBs)?
As they’ve often said while serving as panelists at many healthcare real estate (HRE) conferences throughout the country, system executives desire high-quality facilities that provide a good user experience, attracting and retaining patients, physicians and staff in existing markets.
