“I can no longer afford to have a singular focus”
The Business of Healthcare
The health care industry is a multi-billion dollar industry with a unique and diverse landscape, within which HLG focuses its efforts on representing health care providers, exclusively. We understand the rapidly changing landscape health care providers must navigate, and the enormous legal and economic challenges along the way. One of HLG’s core focuses is working with our clients to strike a balance between rendering quality patient care and adjusting to the economic challenges the healthcare industry faces, and those on the horizon.
HLG represents individual providers, micro practices, small practices, and large multi-specialty practices. More than legal counsel, we provide value added business solutions our clients depend on in considering the future of their respective practices. We identify for our clients future macro economic trends for
hospital-physician relations and offer strategies to help them prepare for that future.
The changing healthcare environment requires sensible, creative solutions to the pressures facing the industry.
