Brown Smith Wallace has given us a whole range of possibilities for
the future, especially with the Affordable Care Act. We are being well
positioned to face the future of health care, in a position of strength…

With the implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), the Health Care industry
is undergoing the most significant financial and operational changes since the passing of Medicare and
Medicaid legislation. PPACA affects employers and providers in different ways, but both must face the
industry changes with thoughtful and deliberate strategies.

At Brown Smith Wallace, our Health Care Industry Group includes the traditional accounting firm services
of both internal and external audits as well as tax advisory services. In addition, our Health Care Advisory
Services is a great complement to our traditional services and adds tremendous value to our health care
client partners.

Working with a partner to be able to develop meaningful strategies requires that partner to be flexible,
focused on local market activity, and able to think nationally related to trends and best practices. Additionally,
your strategic advisor must have insights into and experience with many components within the health care
industry.
The Brown Smith Wallace team combines years of strategic, financial and operational expertise within the
health care industry including experience as board members, operators, investors and advisors. Together,
we could work with you in the development of a long-term strategy or short-term decision support. Some of
