IMEG Vice President of Healthcare Eric Vandenbroucke is featured in Building Design+Construction’s 2026 Healthcare Annual Report, a 60-page special edition that provides a comprehensive update on the $70 billion U.S. healthcare construction sector. 

Drawing on his experience designing healthcare environments, Eric explores continued demand for new healthcare facilities alongside opportunities for adaptive reuse of existing buildings, as well as the growing role of microhospitals and outpatient surgery centers in expanding access to care. 

He also discusses how emerging technologies—including artificial intelligence and digital twins—are influencing healthcare planning, design, and operations, and how prefabrication is helping improve construction efficiency. 

Eric further notes sustainability practices once considered innovative are an increasingly standard part of healthcare facility planning and design, as owners look for facility resilience.
