Case Work
BRG experts assisted a two-hospital system with a business plan that included a 10-year financial forecast to determine the feasibility of funding a replacement for its largest hospital.
A BRG expert offered independent opinions and conclusions on behalf of a health system that split up after years of operating on a consolidated basis.
BRG experts have assisted a large academic medical center on numerous projects over the last several years, including three projects specifically evaluating the benefits and risks of acquiring specific hospitals.
