View All Experience
  • Helped manage, coordinate, and prepare legal arrangements necessary to establish a COVID-19 hospital surge facility for use by several of central Ohio’s primary hospital systems. Addison also assisted in facilitating negotiations among three health systems, the surge facility’s primary owner, and its food service contractor.
  • Assisted a regional medical center in Ohio with its conversion from a county-owned hospital to a private health care provider. The transaction required obtaining bond financing for the acquisition and conversion of the hospital facilities, real property and assets, and resulted in the continuation of care for local residents.
  • Advised a government-owned hospital, and worked with elected officials to convert a public hospital into a nonprofit business and large health care system affiliate. The transaction involved unique and negotiated features necessary to satisfy elected officials’ priorities, the community’s needs for local health care access, and the opportunities and efficiencies available through affiliation with a sophisticated tertiary care system.
