Phoenix-based FastMed Urgent Care is planning to upgrade its portfolio. The urgent care provider has partnered with CBRE to acquire new real estate for medical clinics as well as monitor leases and manage maintenance and renovations to clinic maintenance.

"FastMed is continually identifying new areas in which to deliver high-quality care," Web Golinkin, CEO of FastMed Urgent Care, tells GlobeSt.com. "CBRE is an excellent fit for this partnership as they are a leader in site selection and have the sophisticated tools to identify markets based on lifestyle patterns and demand for improved access to healthcare, which will position FastMed for patient-centered growth. With the growing demand for convenient and affordable healthcare, FastMed is well-positioned to increase accessibility to high-quality care with an expanded retail footprint, especially hybrid family medicine-urgent care locations to fulfill community needs."

For new real estate acquisitions, FastMed is targeting Arizona, Texas and North Carolina. "Through this partnership, we are looking to expand where there is a need for care," says Golinkin. "We are focused on markets that have the lowest penetration and highest demand. Ultimately, this partnership will translate to improving the patient experience with existing and new clinics located nearer to their lifestyle patterns, superior facility design and maintenance, and reducing operating expenses to enable valuable investment back into the business."
