We believe that the “Aging of the Population” will drive an increase in demand for services provided by long-term care facilities and other healthcare related facilities. We estimate that this increased demand for healthcare services will drive an increase in demand for HCSG’s professional services...We believe that HCSG is positioned to benefit from the current outsourcing trend among healthcare providers...We believe that HCSG participates in a large and growing multi-billion market that is characterized by high customer retention with a highly visible revenue stream."
