Key Considerations for Health Care Equipment Leasing in Today's Market
The health care industry is going through a period of unprecedented change and uncertainty due to the slow-to-recover economy, tight credit markets, increasing costs and health care reform.

For leasing companies, this is clearly good news. While there are a number of complexities to operating in the health care leasing arena, there also are more than ample opportunities. Those leasing companies that are proactive in mitigating certain industry risks have an opportunity to be very successful in this space.
