05-21-2008 5:00 pm - Cabrillo Pavilion Arts Center, Santa Barbara | Map |
Add to Calendar
Escalating healthcare costs are a huge concern to both employers and employees. Employers are reacting by promoting preventative healthcare and allocating budgets for wellness programs in the workplace. Employees are reacting to the increasing portion of healthcare costs being shifted to them by taking a more proactive stance and becoming increasingly involved in their own preventative healthcare programs. These trends are driving new and innovative approaches to preventative healthcare and wellness; which in turn are dramatically shifting the traditional healthcare delivery system and model.

Core Oncology - a Management Buyout in Medical Devices
02-20-2008 5:00 pm - Cabrillo Pavilion Arts Center
What do you do when the new parent company of your division decides it does not fit the corporate strategy? This was the situation facing the management of Mentor Urology Division’s cancer radiation therapy business after Mentor sold that division to Coloplast, a Danish medical devices company.
Travis Gay, the general manager of the radiation therapy business, decided to lead a management buyout (MBO) effort. He believed there was more potential for the business than did other prospective bidders. Core Oncology was formed in 2006 by Travis’ management team and it was successful in closing the buyout of the business in mid-2007.
