Raleigh, NC – Ken Burgess and Bill Shenton, partners in Poyner Spruill LLP’s Health Care practice group, are part of a team of writers who contributed to a new compendium of long term care regulatory laws that has just been published by the American Health Lawyers Association.

The book, entitled “Fifty State Survey of Certificate of Need and Licensure: Nursing Homes, Assisted Living, Home Health, and Hospice,” was edited by Ari J. Markenson and Carrie Kissick Rabbitt. It is designed to provide attorneys and managers in the long term care, sub-acute, and post-acute care industries with a detailed overview of the legal and regulatory landscape for obtaining certificate of need and/or licensure for nursing homes, assisted living facilities, home health, and hospice services in each of the fifty states and the District of Columbia.

Content experts from across the country volunteered their time to provide users of this publication with useful, practical information for each state. Burgess and Shenton authored the chapter that deals with the state of North Carolina.
