Following the success of Commercial Observer’s past healthcare forums in New York City, this inaugural healthcare construction forum in Washington, D.C. will explore developments and trends transforming the region’s healthcare facilities. With the nation experiencing a healthcare boom coupled with policy changes, competition among facilities has increased, resulting in new developments and technological advances. Leaders in healthcare construction must quickly respond and adapt to the expanding marketplace. Design and construction experts from the region’s leading healthcare institutions will discuss the effects of these trends on healthcare facilities and the future of development.
