“This is a time of dramatic change for healthcare service providers. Adding KLMK Group’s premier professionals to the CBRE Healthcare team will significantly enhance our ability to offer innovative solutions to improve the capital planning process and lower costs, thereby enabling our clients to focus on their central mission of serving their communities,” said Bill Concannon, CEO of CBRE’s Global Corporate Services business.
