Englewood Healthcare Enterprises

"I am happy to write a letter of recommendation for the Innovative Health Strategies Group (IHS). Englewood Healthcare Enterprises(EHE) engaged the services of IHS to help identify a dialysis partner and negotiate a joint venture, which in turn was the Fresenius Group. We worked primarily with Butch Marino from the IHS Group. He was able to navigate the very difficult waters with respect to establishing a partnership between Fresenius, several physicians and EHE. Butch and the IHS Group worked diligently to see this venture through. We recently signed contracts to establish the joint venture, and all parties were very pleased with the outcome.

In summary, I have the highest regard for Butch Marino and the IHS Group with respect to their knowledge of the dialysis business and their ability to negotiate beneficial joint ventures. I would have no hesitation to use IHS in the future for new business opportunities that can incorporate into an academic program, and I would specifically request that Butch Marino be assigned to the project.

If you have any questions regarding IHS or Butch, please contact me. I would be happy to discuss our favorable experience in greater detail."
