Global Healthcare Report
A LETTER FROM JON LANGENFELD
To say these are interesting times for Healthcare risks
understatement. Market forces and population needs
are fueling transformational shifts in structure and service
models globally. Meanwhile, constant advances in both
understanding and technology are enabling evermore
effective approaches to identifying, treating and
preventing disease.
The implications of this rapid evolutionary period for
consumers, providers, payers and sponsors are manifold,
as are the opportunities for companies and investors.
At Baird we’ve continued to evolve our Healthcare
platform – from our industry-leading research* to our
Global Investment Banking capabilities – to ensure that
our clients have the insight and expertise they need
where and when those opportunities arise.
Our Global Healthcare Report provides examples of
the important perspectives that we make available to
attendees of our annual Healthcare Conference in
New York. We hope you’ll find the information useful
as you contemplate your approach to this fast-changing,
vital sector in and beyond.
