Health Care

The Health Care industry today faces many new and complex challenges. Government and industry-sponsored reform initiatives, declining reimbursement, an aging population, staffing shortages and regulatory restrictions on compensation and other financial arrangements are forcing hospitals, physicians and other providers to restructure the ways in which they deliver services. No one can deny that these are formidable obstacles. However, we believe that the other side of challenge is opportunity. The challenges that health care providers face may indeed be opportunities for growth and prosperity.

Turning challenges into opportunities requires a comprehensive knowledge of the law, as well as a clear understanding of health care as a business. We understand the operations, market trends and economics of the health care industry. We have gained our experience by actively counseling and advising a wide array of health care clients, including hospitals and health systems, long-term care facilities, multi- and single-specialty physician groups, managed care organizations and providers of outpatient and ancillary services, nurse practitioners, suppliers of durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, and supplies and medical device manufacturers.

Brouse subscribes to a cross-disciplinary approach to our health care practice, engaging specialists who are able to counsel and advise clients in the areas of organizational design, regulatory compliance, reimbursement issues, corporate financing, labor and employment, real estate, taxation and employee benefits, mergers and acquisitions, licensing, joint ventures and strategic alliances, and litigation. Our broad spectrum of experience allows us to deal with the complex problems that may arise in today’s health care businesses and turn them into opportunities.
