Bloomberg Businessweek reported an increase in medical walk-in clinics situated in shopping malls. Since 2009, more than nine thousand outpatient centers have popped up in various mega-malls around the States.

Similarly, Barclays analyst Joshua Raskin says to expect even more construction of outpatient centers in 2015, calling it the biggest healthcare trend “since the creation of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965,” adding that ASC’s are “further along in developing an outpatient strategy that can retain potential out-migration from their acute care facilities.”
