In the process of a very challenging merger with another organization VERTESS was consistently on target and available to help us as we made some very critical decisions. Their guidance was crucial to us going forward.

I want to thank VERTESS for the personal attention and support they gave as I planned for the sale of the behavioral health company that my husband and his team operated for 20 years. VERTESS brought expertise and guidance through every step of the process, from the preparation of data, negotiation, and conclusion of the sale of Supported Living Systems. They helped keep my priorities in the forefront and offered alternative strategies for reaching goals. VERTESS kept the discussion on a steady course and gave thoughtful and wise advice at every point in the process, as we moved to a successful conclusion for both companies.

VERTESS is a creative thinker, thorough and reliable, and a force for change. Their breadth of experience in health care management, particularly in the areas of behavioral health, developmental disabilities and systems change, including building consensus, makes them a unique resource who I do not hesitate to recommend to my clients for outside consulting.

I worked closely with VERTESS and we prepared our company for acquisition, negotiated a final agreement, and concluded the sale of our company. They skillfully advised us on several key points and were there for us even after closing the deal. Very professional all around.
