Through his efforts, Jackson has developed and acquired a family of companies

right people and delivering the right information at the right time. By
transforming their technology, operations and culture, organizations are
realizing their potential through partnership with Jackson Healthcare. The
companies within the Jackson Healthcare family provide clinician staffing,
anesthesia management, hospital management and healthcare information

well as increase operational efficiency.
Jackson has owned and operated surgery centers, physician practice management
companies and clinics, providing him with a clear understanding of what it
takes to run a successful healthcare business. More than 10 of his companies
have been market share leaders in their industries. Within its first five years
in business, Jackson & Coker became the nation's largest physician search firm
and seventh largest executive search company. Jackson has owned two hospitals
and ran the first chain of outpatient pain relief centers in the nation. In
addition, Jackson ran the third-largest outpatient surgery center, as well as
run the largest multi-site allergy clinic in the country. He has been a
