Medical Matchmaking: HealCo plays cupid for providers and medical space.

A relationship dynamic in healthcare real estate is only as successful as the transparency, trust, and symbiosis it’s built upon – and the medical timeshare office solution is credited with initiating some of the industry’s most fruitful.

As the Airbnb for medical office timesharing, Healco fosters a mutually beneficial relationship – one where lessee and lessor are able to maximize effectiveness and minimize cost, all while feeling in-control. 

Historically, the medical office real estate industry has been plagued with decades of stringent, confusing laws prohibiting doctors from leasing space for the time they need – preventing medical office buildings from employing independent providers who will further enrich their medical ecosystems. 

Physician burnout in the US is at its highest level in recorded history. HealCo’s technology eliminates the headache mission-oriented providers face in establishing a part-time presence in areas that are lacking healthcare professionals. With HealCo, doctors get to be doctors again.

While HealCo’s strives to bring providers to communities that need them most, medical office owners and operators are also searching for a match that yields profit and advantage. With approximately $10 billion of underutilized medical office space sitting in hospitals and medical office buildings throughout America, HealCo has turned medical coworking into a reality with timesharing. 

If you’re a provider, medical office operator, or hospital, you too can find your perfect match with HealCo. Visit www.healco.us and follow us on LinkedIn for industry news and company updates.
