Retail shopping malls, which were already in trouble before the pandemic, have become even less viable during it. But there’s another type of mall — one that had gained some traction before the pandemic — that now has even greater potential: the medical mall.

They can make care more accessible, reduce inequities, promote economic development, and allow hospital-based health systems to lower their costs.

Summary.
Medical malls, a new type of care delivery location is gaining traction. They can be a pure medical center or a mix of health care services and leased retail space. There are about 30 in the United States. They have the potential to enable hospital-based systems to deliver care more effectively, efficiently, and flexibly and to help address health care inequities and constantly evolving public health needs while promoting local economic development.
