Why You Should Attend the Philadelphia Healthcare Real Estate Conference

Why This Matters

Philadelphia is experiencing a once in a generation transformation of its healthcare infrastructure. Systems are investing billions of dollars in flagship projects such as CHOP’s 1.3 million square foot patient tower and Jefferson’s new specialty pavilion while also repurposing retail and community sites for urgent care, behavioral health and ambulatory hubs. At the same time, persistent staffing shortages have led leaders to prioritize workforce productivity and operational efficiency, prompting major design changes that emphasize flexible workspaces and staff well being. Technology is becoming central to facility strategy. AI, smart building systems and telehealth infrastructure are now embedded in new and retrofitted spaces to improve diagnostics, automate operations and adapt to hybrid care models. These forces collectively reshape how and where care is delivered, making it critical for developers, investors and providers to understand the interplay of capital, design, regulation and community impact.

What You Will Learn

Mega Project Insights: How CHOP, Jefferson, Penn and Temple are planning, financing and constructing transformative inpatient towers and campus redevelopments, and what these projects mean for neighborhoods and future capacity.
Care Beyond the Hospital: Strategies behind the region’s rapid expansion of behavioral health centers, outpatient hubs and medtail clinics. Lessons from projects such as the PHMC Public Health Campus and Honickman Pavilion, and how providers balance network strategy, retail vacancies and community needs.
Technology and Workforce Innovations: The latest on AI enabled predictive analytics, telehealth integration and smart building systems. How these tools improve patient flow, expand access and address workforce shortages. The facility design implications of a care model that blends physical and virtual visits.
Financing and Risk Management: Approaches to funding large and small projects from philanthropic gifts and public private partnerships to REIT capital and C PACE financing. How rising construction costs and interest rates affect deal structures, and how landlords and tenants share risk.
Design for Equity and Sustainability: How health systems and developers are incorporating wellness spaces, sustainability features and neighborhood partnerships into new projects to improve both environmental performance and community impact.
