| The Firm HealthCare Markets Group is a healthcare advisory and investment banking firm that has three operating units: a healthcare advisory unit, which provides strategic guidance and customized research on growth related issues; a specialized healthcare investment banking unit, which develops and implements plans to enhance client value; and a finance unit, which raises debt/equity funding for healthcare related projects. Since its formation, the Firm has become a valued advisor to publicly and privately held medical companies. HealthCare Markets Group's corporate office is in Houston, Texas. First-Hand Healthcare Operating Experience The Firm's partners have spent the better part of their professional careers in senior positions in the healthcare industry. HealthCare Markets Group was founded on the belief that needs of the healthcare industry are best served by professionals who understand the industry through direct operating experience. All too frequently, advisory teams are comprised of individuals without industry specific knowledge, which can result in fragmented views of how to enhance corporate value. Benefiting from extensive market research and continual dialogue with industry leaders, the Firm maintains an understanding of developing trends and can share a unique perspective as to the players shaping those trends. This base of experience provides our clients with a competitive advantage in designing creative solutions to complex financing, operating or marketing strategies. Range of Assignments Since inception, the Firm has participated in a diverse range of assignments encompassing the following healthcare market segments: acute care hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, cancer treatment centers, LTAC facilities, home healthcare, out-patient services, information services, diagnostic imaging, monitoring, cardiac, catheters, orthopedic, PACS/Teleradiology, lasers, rehabilitation, laboratory services, managed care, surgical instruments, pharmaceutical, assisted living, and financial services organizations. Range of Services The Firm works with its clients on the formulation and execution of sound business strategies to insure future growth. The Firm assists in building or restructuring businesses, and helps in the establishment of realistic corporate development plans that often incorporate strategic alliances, joint ventures, raising equity capital, and serving as investment banker for acquisitions and divestitures. Experience The perspective the Firm has gained through its long term consulting and transactional relationships, its considerable research activities and the continual discourse the Firm maintains with industry leaders, affords HealthCare Markets Group unparalleled insight into the trends and the players shaping the industry. Industry Focus Healthcare has continued to grow dramatically and now comprises over 14% of U.S. gross domestic product, representing the nation's single largest industry. Notwithstanding its size, healthcare still remains highly fragmented on both a local and a national basis, thereby spawning business opportunities through mergers and acquisitions. From inception, HealthCare Markets Group's primary mission has been to assist the healthcare industry in these business combinations and our executives' qualifications include careers in various senior positions with providers, technology companies, or financial services organizations. HealthCare Markets Group has played an integral part during these changing times and provides critical elements of success to any endeavor. Philosophy Our Principals believe in developing longstanding relationships versus the typical transaction-based orientation. The Firm's hallmark is its success in providing a full range of financial and management services, while emphasizing sound business strategy, realistic goals and maximizing owner value. |
