Healthcare Advisory

Our practice services are industry-agnostic; we cover a broad variety of corporate settings, including manufacturing, retail, financial services, automotive, broadcasting and real estate. That said, one of our core areas in which we have high caliber experience and expertise is healthcare. Few businesses have had to cope with such continuous pressures on performance as do the healthcare and senior living sectors. Increasing regulatory oversight, reduced reimbursements from third-party payers, declining census levels and diminishing operating margins are all factors contributing to a decline in financial performance. Even sound healthcare providers may overlook the early warning signs of financial distress.

“Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength.”

- Sigmund Freud

Our experience covers underperforming and over-leveraged providers across the healthcare continuum, including skilled nursing facilities, for-profit and not-for-profit health systems, acute care and behavioral healthcare providers. The breadth of our advisory practice enables us to develop unique and often groundbreaking solutions in special situations and also exploit opportunities that may arise in the process.
