Healthcare M+A advisory firm VERTESS continues its national expansion with the addition of Hilsman Knight, an effective investment banker, as a Managing Director.

Hilsman is an alumnus of the University of Mississippi and completed his Master’s degree at Grand Canyon University, where he focused on Healthcare Management.

There are many new encouraging developments in the UCC, ASC and specialty practice verticals and I foresee strong growth through the rest of 2017 and beyond.”
