About the ConferenceThe Fifth Raymond James Healthcare Conference, which took place at the Don Cesar in St. Petersburg, Florida, continued our tradition of discussing the financing options that are available to the non-profit health care industry. Abundant capital continues to be available to meet hospitals financing requirements. Hospitals are financing their bricks and mortar, equipment, medical office buildings and joint ventures using traditional and innovative capital financing vehicles at historically low interest rate levels. This year’s conference, which took place on March 8-9, specifically addressed some of the reasons for this strong capital access and the prospects of it continuing. Alternatives to classical tax-exempt bonds were discussed and we explored some of the newer ways in which providers are seeking financing for non-core real estate and/or joint venture endeavors. This year, we also spent some time on the unique financing options that are available to critical access and other rural hospitals. Lastly, we had a segment on strategic initiatives that many hospitals, regardless of size and credit rating, have taken to remain competitive and financially successful in order to maintain access to today’s low cost capital sources. Our conferences are scheduled periodically.
