Commercial Roofing Options for Healthcare
Healthcare encompasses anything from hospitals to assisted living communities, from medical office buildings (MOB) to research campuses. With the baby boomers moving towards retirement, the phrase “silver tsunami” has been used to describe the increase in various medical service locations and communities.
