Health Care

Our legal outcomes will allow you to focus on the health of your organization and patients

The Shumaker team has extensive experience in representing diverse health care clients. Leveraging a deep institutional knowledge helps us understand, anticipate, and respond to strategic concerns posed by a constantly changing regulatory and business environment.

We give health care clients the tools they need to ensure day-to-day operations comply with legal and regulatory requirements. Clients benefit from our knowledge and experience, as well as our willingness to work with in-house personnel and counsel to meet objectives without constant lawyer involvement.
