Trends and Insights
Hospital construction spending rebounds after delays and budget cuts
- Overall hospital construction activity in the US declined from 2020 to 2023, as the pandemic triggered widespread project delays, restricted capital budgets and diverted health system resources to immediate operational needs rather than long-term facility investments. Supply chain disruptions and heightened uncertainty regarding patient demand and funding further delayed or shelved major construction projects.

Trends and Insights
The One Big Beautiful Bill may shake up the industry
- The enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act has resulted in cuts to Medicaid funding, strongly affecting rural hospitals whose revenue is highly dependent on these reimbursements. Although the federal government has introduced a $50.0 billion relief fund to ease the transition, this support is temporary and may not compensate for the sustained financial disruption caused by Medicaid reductions.
