Hospital Systems Form Strategic Partnerships With DAG Healthcare To:

• Divert capital and human resources away from medical office buildings towards their core competency of operating hospitals

• Obtain access to capital tied-up in their medical office portfolio

• Forge better relationships with physicians by allowing a professional building management team to handle the “my air conditioning just quit” calls.

• Avoid Stark compliance concerns as they relate to medical office buildings by allowing a professional leasing team to handle leasing concerns, especially when doctors desire an ownership interest in such buildings.

• Engage the expertise of a professional operator and developer of medical office buildings with a large financial stake in every project

• Replace antiquated healthcare facilities with new patient-friendly facilities to support new or expanding hospital services

• Provide the capital for new medical office space to off-load hospital administration functions and ancillary services from high-cost hospital space.

• Direct key physicians to a loyal developer capable of bringing new medical office buildings on-line while protecting the interests of the hospital.

• Provide new medical office buildings to recruit new physicians to their campuses
