Capstone Healthcare
What Makes us Different?
The government’s ever-increasing role as both regulator and payer is increasingly opaque, with massive implications for companies and investors alike. Legislators and regulators make critical decisions every day on healthcare issues that affect communities, and Capstone’s access to the policy world allows us to provide an array of insights. From micro studies of medical facilities to macro views of healthcare technology policy trends on the horizon, we provide clients differentiated investment ideas as well as deep-dive regulatory due diligence.
