Douglas Anning
President
Doug represents nonprofit and government hospitals, health systems, universities, academic medical centers, senior living, student housing, and other related healthcare and nonprofit organizations in a myriad of transactional work, including acquisitions and dispositions (M&A), health plan acquisitions, hospital-physician joint ventures, management and lease agreements, joint operating agreements, conversion transactions, public-private partnerships, and nonprofit-corporate partnerships. Because of his extensive healthcare transaction experience, Doug’s experience also extends to the complex financing structures required by such transactions and the myriad regulatory requirements attendant to the transactions. In addition to hospitals, health systems, and healthcare entities, Doug also serves nonprofit clients, including private foundations, corporate foundations, schools and universities, healthcare conversion foundations, supporting organizations, endowments, and charitable lead and remainder trusts. A sought-after subject-matter expert, Doug writes and lectures frequently on healthcare and tax law and corporate governance, has been an adjunct law school professor, has co-authored several books, and is frequently quoted in Modern Healthcare and Bloomberg BNA Health Law Reporter. He is regularly recognized as a top attorney in his fields of healthcare and nonprofit law in both the Missouri & Kansas Super Lawyers and The Best Lawyers in America.®
