Provided by Bowles Rice LLP

The Bowles Rice Health Care Group emphasizes quality advice based on a thorough understanding of the law and our clients' mission, goals and objectives. Our approach is to solve problems for the client by offering alternatives and solutions that meet those goals and objectives. Our ability to solve client problems requires not only the skill to guide the client through a highly complex maze of laws and regulations, but also an understanding of the political, social and economic factors that often underlie health care policy.
