Health Care
Haynes and Boone’s Health Care Practice attorneys participate in all areas of the health care industry, representing multi-hospital systems, general acute care and specialty hospitals, non-profit hospitals and public hospital districts, pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers, health maintenance organizations, home health care providers, nursing homes, clinics, physician groups, managed care organizations, and corporations providing services, durable medical equipment, supplies and technology in the medical field.
In addition to the Health Care Practice attorneys, Haynes and Boone has attorneys throughout its practice areas with experience and expertise in the health care industry, including real estate, tax, bankruptcy, litigation, and employment lawyers.
Many of our lawyers are involved in outside activities which enhance their health care industry familiarity. For example, we currently have attorneys serving on: the board of directors for a charitable foundation that supports a tax-exempt hospital; the board of directors for a dental school; a hospital ethics committee; a hospital human research committee; the board of directors for an AIDS hospice; and the board of directors of a non-profit home care agency.
Through our professional and outside activities we are "in the know" on your business. We make it a priority to be current on governmental actions both in the state and federal legislatures and at the agency level in order to provide you with the most complete information possible for your business decision making.

Health care issues often call for fast action, and we pride ourselves on our responsiveness and “can do” attitude.
