What Sets Us Apart


The ongoing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic have exacerbated the already known challenges facing U.S. health systems and hospitals, including personnel shortages, patient safety and quality, and mounting operational costs. Our industry experts have worked where you work and have faced the challenges that you face.

The deep expertise of our GB Healthcare professional staff, which includes a former Chief Risk Executive for an academic health system, defense attorneys, healthcare professional liability and medical malpractice insurance claims executives, registered nurses, and certified healthcare risk managers, makes us critical assets to our clients.
