Many of us have flipped (or scrolled) the calendar pages past our summer vacation, that special time "out of the office" when we can see more of our family and friends, enjoy our pastimes, and just take a mental break. Now with Labor Day in sight, we are getting back to our labors of love.

 

That means refocusing on the tasks at hand as well as taking stock of where our businesses are headed. How can we grow referrals? How to market our businesses better? How can we leverage our investments to increase revenues? What risks or rewards have we not yet recognized?

 

In addition to developing programs for pharmacy practice, regulatory compliance, and quality control, the Gates Healthcare Associates team helps healthcare organizations develop strategic plans to resolve challenges and maximize opportunities. Our business development services include repositioning or reorganization, due diligence, preparation for acquisition, managed care contract evaluations, and real estate transactions.

 

With CEO-level experience, our associates have made the difficult decisions that running a business requires. Let us help you turn over a new leaf this autumn. 

 

Sincerely,
Ernest P. Gates Jr., R.Ph, FASCP, FIACP, FACA
Gates teams with LicenseLogix
Gates Healthcare Associates is excited to announce that it has formed a strategic partnership with LicenseLogix to help pharmacies streamline their licensing process.

 

The pharmacy industry has seen an increase in regulation by state and federal agencies in recent years, and keeping up with changing licensing requirements can be challenging for pharmacists who need to focus on patients and their business.

 

LicenseLogix, the nation's leading licensing firm for businesses, can take on this task through its full-service license application and compliance solution. Services include license research, verification, assessment, filing, and compliance.

 

Several businesses and industry associations, including the International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists, also have formed partnerships with LicenseLogix. Now, Gates Healthcare Associates can assist our clients through this beneficial partnership.
