Clifford D Stromberg

Cliff Stromberg is widely recognized as a national leader in negotiating complex transactions for academic medical centers, hospitals and systems, managed care organizations, and other health care clients. He is a trusted advisor to boards and management in conceptualizing deal options and assessing the pros and cons of different moves in the market. He finds creative solutions and knows how to both negotiate hard and "get to yes."

He and his team have closed many tens of billions of dollars of deals in recent years. They have advised more than half of the leading academic medical centers – both public and private – as well as leading health systems, and more than a dozen state and local governments on major strategic transactions. Cliff and his team can offer clients insights into best practices and emerging trends. They serve as an efficient "SWAT team," bringing together legal experience across all the operational areas embedded in a complex deal. They help clients realistically assess what works and what doesn't, and how best to secure their goals.

Cliff also knows the world of managed care, population health, and clinically integrated networks. His prior experience in government (having been appointed by the President as Deputy Executive Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and later serving as an Advisor to the Federal Trade Commission on health industry matters), and his roles in creating, selling, combining, and restructuring managed care plans enable him to help clients stay ahead of the curve in this arena.
