Healthcare Risk Management Attorneys

Sands Anderson Marks & Miller recognizes that healthcare is both a profession and a business, and that the legal needs of our clients are not limited to litigation. With rising insurance costs, heightened regulation and accountability, and the underlying threat of damaging court awards, our clients increasingly look to us for experience and expertise in long term risk management, crisis management, patient care, and liability exposure.

Representative clients include the University of Virginia Health Sciences Center, Bon Secours Health System, Franklin Memorial Hospital, Riverside Regional Medical Center, Smyth County Hospital, Giles Memorial Hospital, Lewis-Gale Medical Center, and the Medical College of Virginia.
