And our clients include major university health centers, regional health care deliverers and as well as large and prestigious hospitals."

As but one example, Mr. Yokl cited the case of a leading provider of psychiatric services in the Midwest. He said, "This client, that serves approximately 50,000 patients, is facing very difficult cuts in Medicare and Medicaid Medicare and Medicaid
