HAMMES, HEALTH INVENTURES TARGET MIDDLE EAST

By John Mugford

For its next big assignment, Broomfield, Colo.-based Health Inventures LLC is doing something totally familiar in a completely new setting.

The owner and operator of ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) throughout the United States was recently chosen by Bahraini-based Safe Hands Health System Holding Co. (SHHS) to develop and operate more than 30 medical facilities in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries of the Middle East.

Health Inventures, which is majority owned by Jon Hammes, chairman and CEO of Brookfield, Wis.-based Hammes Co., currently has more than 40 surgery centers under development in the United States.

Under the agreement, Health Inventures would oversee the development of operational policies and procedures of the medical facilities; it would also implement the management company’s organizational structure, management and operating systems.

Hammes Co. was chosen by Safe

Hands to assist with project implementation and design for the prototypes, which will range in size from 95,000 to 125,000 square feet.
