(WASHINGTON, DC—March 11, 2008) The Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) International today announced that BOMA’s 2008 Medical Office Building and Healthcare Facilities Conference, June 19-20, 2008, at the Hyatt Regency in Denver, will be presented by InSite Medical Properties.
Healthcare real estate, such as medical office buildings and ambulatory surgery centers, continues to outperform other commercial office asset classes. BOMA’s annual Medical Office Building and Healthcare Facilities Conference focuses exclusively on the specific demands associated with developing, managing, and leasing these highly specialized facilities.
This year’s program will focus on the most pressing issues confronting this sector of the real estate industry, including the upcoming election. Political analyst and commentator Stuart Rothenberg will headline the event and share insights on what the upcoming presidential elections likely hold for the healthcare industry. As the editor and publisher of The Rothenberg Political Report, Rothenberg is the go-to authority on the U.S. House, Senate, gubernatorial, and presidential elections.
“The healthcare industry is undergoing rapid change,” noted Jonathan Winer, Co-Chair of BOMA’s Medical Office Buildings and Healthcare Facilities Committee, and Principal, Transaction Real Estate, Ernst & Young. “This conference is one of the only programs available that helps real estate industry professionals prepare for and meet those challenges.”
“We are delighted that InSite Medical Properties will sponsor this event,” said Danny Prosky, Co-Chair of BOMA’s Medical Office Buildings and Healthcare Facilities Committee, and Vice President, Acquisitions, Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT. “We are delighted to have them share their expertise, as they celebrate 30 years of delivering excellence to their healthcare clients.”
“We look forward to hosting this conference in our home city of Denver. InSite has long been involved in this conference, and we're pleased to do our part in promoting the advancement of this profession and the medical office industry,” said Mark Engstrom, Chief Executive Officer for InSite Medical Properties.
In addition to examining the implications of the upcoming election, other sessions will examine the shift from in-patient to outpatient treatment models; the “greening” of healthcare facilities; medical malls and healthcare villages as new real estate models; how changes in the capital markets will affect access to capital and underwriting requirements; financing higher acuity facilities; the latest revisions to STARK regulations and other regulatory compliance matters; and strategies for getting the right tenant mix in an MOB.
