Here are six things to know: 1. Recently, a number of health- care organizations opened med- ical offices in malls. For exam- ple, Prime Healthcare manages a 23,500-square-foot ambulatory care facility at the Plymouth Meeting Mall near Philadelphia. A second exam- ple is Los Angeles-based Cedars-Si- nai Health System, which is planning to open a 32,000-square-foot outpa- tient medical office at The Runway at Playa Vista. 2. There are a number of reasons for this trend, including the fact that mall operators are looking to sup- plement the disappearance of tra- ditional retailers who face intense competition from online retailers. 3. The healthcare industry is look- ing to bring services closer to their patients, which further drives this trend. 4. Strip malls appear to be a pop- ular choice for a medical office as compared to a traditional mall. This is primarily due to the fact that strip malls allow patients to park close to the medical office, making it more convenient for elderly patients in particular. 5. Setting up offices in malls or retail spaces is also becom- ing a popular option for health- care companies because they can get good deals on rent and allowances. n 15 th Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven asc conference + the future of spine June 22-24, 2017 | Swissotel, Chicago Call 1.800.417.2035 or email registration@beckershealthcare.com or visit beckersasc.com/june-conference/
