Freestanding Emergency Departments and Microhospitals as Part of the System of CARE
Episode 320
Wednesday, 13 May, 2026

Host Trevor DaRin is joined by Sg2 experts Ivy Zhu and Tori Richie to explore the evolving role of freestanding EDs, hybrid ED–urgent care models and micro hospitals in health system strategy. Together, they discuss how these sites can improve access, relieve pressure on traditional EDs and support more efficient care delivery—when deployed with clear intent. The conversation also looks ahead to how virtual care, digital transparency, payer pressure and specialty urgent care models may shape the future of emergency and ambulatory access. We are always excited to get ideas and feedback from our listeners. You can reach us at sg2perspectives@sg2.com, or visit the Sg2 company page on LinkedIn.
