One of the important practices of landlords is to keep an eye on what financial challenges tenants have to face. Healthcare tenants have long been prized. The services are not readily tossed to the side, they have relative composure in the face of inflation, and they have understandably strong credit profiles.

"Their margins are shrinking," Shawn Janus, national director of healthcare at Colliers, tells GlobeSt.com regarding hospitals but also healthcare in general. "The biggest piece of that is labor. The cost of labor is a huge factor [as is] finding labor." Other costs are rising as well. The price of supplies, equipment, and information technology.
