Facility owners must be aware of the opportunities that joint ventures provide their institutions. These arrangements can help improve and expand services and profitability. Tumultuous healthcare industry dynamics force facilities to seek new revenue streams outside of their core businesses and/or across the care continuum. Healthcare companies that shutter their doors to partnerships risk missing opportunities to grow and diversify their business, access new markets, and invest in high-potential products and services.
Some of the healthcare verticals we look forward to partnering with may include, but not limited to:
• Life sciences and pharmaceutical companies
• Health insurance companies
• Healthcare provider companies
• Device and technology companies
We re-emphasize some of the benefits below...
