Today, we're sharing a conversation from the Healthcare Facilities Network podcast featuring DPR Construction's Healthcare Core Market Leader, Hamilton Espinosa. In this discussion, Hamilton joins Patrick Murphy, Regional President at CREF, and podcast host Peter Martin to explore the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of healthcare facilities. From workforce shortages and evolving career paths to artificial intelligence and emerging construction technologies, this conversation examines how healthcare organizations, facility leaders, and builders can adapt to a rapidly changing landscape while keeping people at the center of every decision. In This Episode Why labor shortages continue to impact healthcare facilities and construction alike How data centers and other industries are competing for the same skilled workforce The growing role of AI in healthcare, construction, and facility operations How prefabrication and off-site manufacturing are transforming healthcare construction Why mentorship, apprenticeships, and hands-on learning are critical for the next generation The importance of creating workplaces that attract and retain skilled talent How healthcare organizations can rethink hiring requirements to expand their talent pool Why mission-driven work remains one of healthcare's greatest strengths Key Takeaways The Workforce Challenge Isn't Going Away Healthcare facilities are facing a perfect storm of aging infrastructure, aging employees, and growing demand for services. At the same time, industries such as data centers are attracting skilled tradespeople with higher wages, making recruitment and retention increasingly difficult. AI Is Changing How We Work Rather than replacing people, AI is creating opportunities to automate routine tasks, improve decision-making, enhance safety, and allow professionals to focus on higher-value work. The conversation explores both the promise and the practical realities of AI adoption across healthcare and construction. Alternative Career Paths Matter The panel discusses the growing acceptance of vocational training, apprenticeships, and hands-on career development. As labor shortages continue, organizations must broaden how they recruit and develop talent rather than relying solely on traditional degree requirements. Construction Is Becoming More Industrialized Prefabricated building components, robotics, automated layout tools, and data-driven workflows are helping construction teams improve efficiency and address labor shortages while maintaining quality and safety. Culture Is a Competitive Advantage Creating better work environments—from mentorship programs to improved jobsite conditions—plays a critical role in attracting and retaining talent. Investing in people is no longer optional; it's essential.

Vancouver's Chinatown was never built to be trendy. It was built because people had nowhere else to belong. Shut out of opportunity. Pushed to the margins. Told where they could and could not live. So they built anyway. Store by store. Family by family. A place that began to pulse and then became magnetic to all who lived in and visited Vancouver.   And then slowly, the pulse weakened. Rising costs. Aging buildings. Poverty. Then the pandemic. The streets emptied. Businesses struggled to survive. Anti-Asian racism surged. Fear replaced foot traffic. Absence replaced community.   This week on Chatter That Matters, you will hear the story of how one woman turned darkness into light. Carol Lee looked at decay and did not see failure. She saw a break in belonging.    Carol's approach can be replicated by any struggling community.   Joining the conversation are Martin Thibodeau, Regional President of RBC in British Columbia, and Carmen Stossel, Regional Director of Community Marketing and Social Impact at RBC. They share what makes Carol Lee special and why they got involved.   If you care about your community and humanity.   You will want to hear this conversation.   Because sometimes lighting up a neighbourhood is really about lighting up belief.   Hit play to Light Up Chinatown.

The episode, recorded live at Shoptalk in the Berns Communications Group media room, opens with Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc surveying a broad sweep of headline-grabbing developments in the retail world. They highlight continued uncertainty around recently imposed tariffs and resulting economic ripples, as major international trade disputes stoke inflationary concerns. Stock market volatility factors heavily into the conversation, with the co-hosts noting how certain retail sectors—particularly home furnishings and high-end goods—may feel the pinch as shoppers tighten budgets.  Target's declining foot traffic draws focus as the hosts weigh whether brand controversies or stiff competition might be to blame. Next meet Barrie Scardina, President, Americas Retail Services at Cushman & Wakefield, who brings a fresh perspective born of decades in the retail industry. Her vantage point on commercial real estate challenges the traditional narrative of a “retail apocalypse.” She explains how, despite headlines about store closings, overall U.S. vacancy rates are incredibly low—largely because new construction has slowed and new types of tenants (from wellness providers to entertainment concepts) are snapping up available space. Barrie describes a rising tide of “experiential” retail, with everything from boutique fitness and medtail services to immersive brand pop-ups fueling a renewed sense of purpose in physical locations. She underscores how mixed-use developments and adaptive reuse—especially of outdated mall anchor spots—are revitalizing communities and increasing foot traffic. By blending residential, office, dining, and retail, these centers offer a lifestyle-oriented experience that resonates with modern shoppers. Ultimately, Barrie's insights challenge conventional wisdom, suggesting that success in retail real estate hinges on tapping into evolving consumer demands, fostering a community connection, and creating spaces that balance function with memorable experience. AboutBarrie Scardina joined global real estate solutions firm Cushman & Wakefield as Executive Managing Director and Head of Retail Services, Americas, in November of 2019, leading brokerage teams to deliver optimal solutions to retailers and brands. In 2022, Barrie was elevated to the role of Regional President, Northeast, leading brokerage and services across all service lines. In 2023, she took on the challenge of President of Americas Retail Services, Agency Leasing and Alliances, partnering across office, industrial and retail to provide nuanced client solutions. Barrie is consistently focused on delivering value to clients by serving as a trusted advisor and incorporating data, analytics, and business valuation as part of her strategies. This unique approach to client relationships ensures that the firm delivers against client goals, optimizing outcomes and mitigating risk. Barrie is results-oriented and remains focused on transforming the real estate landscape by strategically driving revenue, identifying operational efficiencies, and growing profitability. Prior to her appointment at Cushman & Wakefield, Barrie spent three decades leading vital retail initiatives across a variety of world-class organizations, including Polo Ralph Lauren, Liz Claiborne, The Children's Place and Tory Burch. She brings more than 15 years of executive experience to her current role with the firm, including expertise in creating long-range strategies, business forecasting, omni-channel inventory management, and system implementation and integration. Most recently, Barrie was with Calvin Klein, where she led the company's North American Retail Division as President, setting strategic direction for merchandising, consumer experience and operational improvements. Throughout her career, Barrie has focused on mentoring and developing talent and creating cultures that foster collaboration and equality. She is the executive sponsor for Cushman & Wakefield's Women's Integrated Network and serves on two diversity committees focused on improving the employee experience.AffiliationsGraduate of the Wharton School of Business' Philips Van Heusen Global Leadership Program (2017)Board Member of Safe Horizon (2017-2019)Member of Women's Retail Leadership Circle (WRLC)Member of the International Council for Shopping Centers (ICSC)Member of CHIEF Private Women's NetworkExecutive Sponsor of Cushman & Wakefield's Women's Integrated Network National ChapterMember of CREW NY; Participant at National levelRecognized by Globe St. as a Woman of Influence (2020) About UsSteve Dennis is a strategic advisor and keynote speaker focused on growth and innovation, who has also been named one of the world's top retail influencers.
