Transwestern Real Estate Services (TRS) announces it has expanded its healthcare operational platform with the addition of Stacy Walker as Vice President, Healthcare Asset Services. Based in Atlanta, Walker will oversee the company’s Southeast Region healthcare portfolio and activities, including managing property, business development, and operations. 

“Stacy understands the unique management requirements and service expectations necessary to support physician groups and hospital systems, and bring value to property owners,” said Steve Hall, Transwestern’s Senior Managing Director of Healthcare Advisory Services. “Her extensive experience combined with a desire to deliver a high level of client satisfaction and operational excellence will help us continue building our healthcare platform in Atlanta and across the Southeast.”

Walker brings 25 years of experience in real estate and portfolio management to her Transwestern role where she will develop and deploy property management services for healthcare owners, including hospitals, outpatient centers, medical office buildings, and life and bioscience facilities.
