"As a $1 billion healthcare organization with acute care hospitals, nursing homes, a managed care organization and physician practices, we have found that PYA has the skills necessary to assist us in all of these areas."

"At Mountain States Health Alliance, we utilize PYA in virtually every component of our organization. From our five acute care hospitals, to physician services, to real estate development, we find PYA has the professionals to address the complex issues we face."

"PYA’s knowledge of managed care players and the marketplace was invaluable in renegotiating our agreements. Teaming with them we have increased our managed care revenue and improved our bottom line. Their assistance in strategy and professional approach with payers allowed us to maintain relationships with the payers and still accomplish our goals. PYA’s knowledge of contract language and their operational reviews will likely save us money as well."

Chief Financial Officer
Arnett Clinic

"When we signed on with Pershing Yoakley, it was just Ed and Doug. We were one of their first clients, and it has been a pleasure to watch their company grow from a two-person operation to one of the largest accounting firms in the South. PYA's client list is long and impressive, but Ed and Doug's commitment to Sevier County Bank is probably stronger than ever. When we need them, they are there for us."

- Ross Summitt and R.B. Summitt
Chairman and President
Sevier County Bank

"I have always appreciated the candor shown by PYA personnel in our professional dealings. Each member of the firm with whom I have interacted has placed open, frank communication and discussion of the issues ahead of 'client loyalty.' They have served our hospital with integrity and a strong desire to help us provide the best healthcare to our community."
