We sat down with MedSynergies
President and CEO, John R.
Thomas, and spoke with him
about the North Texas region
and why he feels it’s the perfect
fit for him and his company.
NTX: You work with health
care organizations and
individuals across the country.
What made MedSynergies
determine that this region
was the right location for its
headquarters?
North Texas is a great environment
for us to operate because it’s
36 North Texas Magazine
concentrated with leading health
care providers and has a growing
population. The Dallas-Fort Worth
Metroplex is home to several major
hospitals and health systems, and
has a steady supply of physician
providers.
Additionally, the area as a
whole has experienced consistent
population growth, escaping some
of the worst effects of the economic
downturn, which translates to a
population in need of health care.
We’re in the business of facilitating
that care through the hospitalphysician relationship, which makes
North Texas the ideal location for
us to succeed.
NTX: What are the benefits
and/or advantages to the
company for being located
in North Texas?
North Texas, and Texas for that

other areas of the country to weather
the current economic storm. We
have no state income tax, a low cost
of living, an environment that is
friendly to business and great
educational institutions. We see
more opportunity as health care
reform drives physicians to seek the
security of hospital relationships,
whether through employment or
affiliation. As a leading provider of
the services that allow hospitals to
not only manage, but also attract
those physicians, we expect more
growth in both North Texas and
other key health care markets.
NTX: Does being in this
area give you greater access
to suppliers or vendors, or
other resources necessary
for business?
Considering Dallas-Fort Worth is
the 14th largest metropolitan
economy in the world, there are
obvious reasons companies want
to do business here. There’s a
world-class airport, a highly
educated workforce and a critical
mass of corporate headquarters.
In addition, we have one of
our key partners here, Texas Health
Resources, the largest health system
in North Texas. Together, we’ve been
able to tackle the tsunami of health
care reforms to ensure consistent
coordinated care fo
