Kyle Mostat at the 2025 International Summit & Exhibition on Health Facility Planning, Design & Construction in Atlanta.
Epsilon Account Executive Kyle Mostat recently attended the 2025 International Summit & Exhibition on Health Facility Planning, Design & Construction in Atlanta. This premier event brought together more than 3,300 healthcare planning, design, and construction professionals, providing a valuable opportunity to learn about the latest trends, network with industry leaders, and explore solutions for the healthcare-built environment.
Upon his return Kyle shared his takeaways and key thoughts with the Epsilon team. Here are two observations we found particularly interesting:
Growth Challenges: Despite some indications of a potential slowdown in the broader industry, many healthcare organizations continue to grapple with significant growth-related challenges. Kyle noted a consistent theme of strong demand for healthcare facilities, often exceeding the current capacity of available personnel to support the numerous projects underway. This highlights the ongoing need for efficient and strategic approaches to project delivery within the healthcare sector.
Design Assist Value: There was considerable discussion among healthcare owners at the conference regarding the significant value offered by the design-assist approach. This collaborative methodology, which integrates construction teams, healthcare stakeholders, and downstream suppliers early in the project lifecycle, is proving to be invaluable on critical healthcare projects. According to the owners Kyle engaged with, design-assist not only enhances project efficiency but also contributes to delivering projects ahead of schedule and under budget. These positive outcomes ultimately drive better results for all stakeholders involved in the healthcare environment.
Kyle’s overall takeaways underscore the dynamic nature of the healthcare construction landscape. While demand remains robust, a common thread was that the industry must continue to prioritize collaborative strategies to effectively manage projects and ensure successful outcomes for organizations striving to meet the evolving needs of their communities and stakeholders.
