Private Hospitals Can Now Expand Services Without Building Permanent Wings
HHS Mobile Field Hospital
Rethinking Expansion in the Era of Overcrowded Hospitals
Across the United States, private hospitals are facing a growing dilemma: patient volume is surging, but building new permanent wings is costly, slow, and riddled with permits and regulatory delays. Meanwhile, demand for outpatient care, imaging services, and elective procedures continues to climb.
Fortunately, a new path forward is emerging from one that turns overflow into opportunity. With modular healthcare solutions like FORTS® Mobile Advanced Specialty Hospitals (M.A.S.H.), private facilities can rapidly expand service lines without the financial or operational burdens of traditional construction.
The Cost of Delay and the Opportunity Cost of Growth
Adding permanent infrastructure can cost tens of millions, take years to complete, and risk significant revenue loss during the planning and permitting phase. But turning away patients due to limited bed capacity issues comes at an even greater cost being lost revenue, reputation and missed opportunities to serve the community. FORTS mobile medical facilities offer a smarter solution. With FORTS M.A.S.H. units, hospitals can deploy fully functional, hard-walled healthcare environments in a matter of hours with no cranes, no concrete and no construction delays.
FORTS modular hospital systems allow private healthcare facilities to scale outpatient services without altering their core footprint.
Ideal applications include:
Outpatient Clinics
Extend primary care, urgent care, or specialty clinics with a professional, climate-controlled facility adjacent to your main campus or in satellite locations.Elective Surgery Wings
Open new revenue streams by dedicating a mobile hospital wing to elective procedures—avoiding costly OR downtime due to renovations or capacity constraints.Imaging & Diagnostic Suites
Convert units into mobile imaging labs with built-in power, HVAC, and shielding for x-ray, ultrasound, or CT equipment perfect for overflow or remote operations.Field Hospitals for Seasonal Surges
