Hospital Services

New Jersey hospitals provide medical services to more than 18 million patients annually. Together, these institutions have a substantial impact on the state’s economy in terms of expenditures, employment and mandatory charity care services. Yet, they are faced with many of the same challenges as other businesses today — rising costs of goods and services, competition and lack of
investment capital—as well as reimbursement shortfalls and regulatory concerns. At Cowan, Gunteski & Co., P.A., we understand the demands of operating a successful hospital in today’s economic climate. For more than 25 years, we have built a wealth of industry knowledge and practical experience in the healthcare profession that will help you find solutions to your most pressing issues.
