Lawrence Vernaglia Co-Authors Second Article on Innovative Revenue Streams for Academic Medical Centers

Foley & Lardner LLP Partner Lawrence Vernaglia co-authored the article, “Innovative Revenue Streams for Academic Medical Centers – Reaching Beyond Patient Care: Part Two” for the American Health Law Association.
