The Highlights of 2003
This index catalogues the feature articles of 2003, including our "Deal of the Month." It also details the various charts and tables.

Index to The Health Care M&A Monthly 2003
Each company and organization discussed during 2003 is listed alphabetically. References are to the first occurrence of the company’s name in the issue; further discussion may follow later in the text.

References are sorted by the month and page number of the issue in which the company appears, e.g., Apr p. 9 stands for page 9 in the April 2003 issue.

Please Note
The various companies and organizations cited in the Deal Summaries of each issue are not included here. Instead, reference should be made to the four quarterly supplements, The Health Care M&A Report, which discuss the individual deals in greater depth. Each quarterly report contains its own company index.
