Facility Concerns Continue to Keep Patients Away
summary
At the height of stay-at-home orders during the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare facilities were essentially closed for non-emergency in-person care. Now that they’ve generally reopened, though, there’s a lingering concern that is keeping would-be patients away. In a new national survey performed by a coalition of cancer advocacy groups, a healthcare service organization and smart building company View, patients report they’re continuing to delay or cancel in person appointments for screenings (e.g., mammograms and colonoscopies), specialists and diagnostic testing, out of concern for the policies and conditions of the healthcare environments.

Fund Shop Targets Busted Hotels
summary
Waterton is looking to acquire hotels in “drive-to” resort markets — where outdoor recreation such as skiing, national parks and beaches are the draw — that can be repositioned and flagged as part of its new collection, dubbed Outbound Hotels. The sweet spot is hotels with at least 100 rooms priced between $30 million and $60 million — just high enough to be out of reach for most high-net-worth buyers and just below the threshold that would interest larger institutional players.
