More than 60 years ago Nexsen Pruet started building its healthcare practice. Back then one attorney spearheaded the effort. Now, six decades later, ten full-time healthcare attorneys serve more than 20 hospitals and several hundred physicians on an on-going basis throughout North and South Carolina.
