reform. Because of his recognized expertise in health policy and

“Physicians’ Advocate,” he has helped develop the concepts of doctor-owned
malpractice insurance companies, the living will, management service
organizations and many other healthcare innovations. He is recognized
nationally as an expert on hospital-medical staff matters, licensure and
medical ethics, as well as physicians’ business strategies and medical
device entrepreneuring.
