Our attorneys continue to be at the forefront of innovation within the healthcare industry. Over the last five years, GableGotwals has been assisting hospitals, physician practice groups, and individual practitioners provide pioneering telehealth solutions throughout metropolitan, rural, and Native American healthcare organizations across the Midwest. When COVID-19 hit, many healthcare providers were forced to change their service model, shifting from in-person care to virtual care. GableGotwals has been perfectly positioned to help its existing and new health care clients expand access to care via telemedicine and navigate legal complexities.
In addition, we have participated in development projects for hospitals and ventures, including land acquisition, construction, equipment acquisition, licensure, vendor relationships, medical staff governance and employee relations.
