Allegiance Buys Higman Healthcare

19 March 1998

USA-based Allegiance Healthcare Corp has acquired privately-held HigmanHealthcare of Florida, a nationwide consulting firm specializing in improving management of surgical services. Financial terms are not disclosed.

Higman is said to have 55 consultants who work with hospitals and other healthcare providers to improve efficiency in caring for patients. Allegiance itself claims to be the USA's leading provider of healthcare products and cost-management services.

Higman is the latest addition to Allegiance's growing portfolio of cost-saving services; last year it bought West Hudson & Co, a company that focuses on labor productivity throughout hospitals.
