CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo., Jan. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Saint Francis Healthcare System has selected Realty Trust Group ("RTG"), a full-service healthcare real estate advisory firm, to serve as a strategic partner in managing their 750,000 square foot real estate portfolio.

"RTG is grateful for the opportunity to work with the visionary and talented team at Saint Francis," says Forrest Gardner, Vice President with RTG. "In addition to property management, transaction and compliance services, RTG will work with executive leadership in an advisory role to identify smart solutions and actionable strategies as it relates to utilizing real estate to meet strategic, operational and financial goals of the organization."

The healthcare system includes Saint Francis Medical Center, a 306-bed nonprofit institution, and Saint Francis Health Plans, a for-profit health plan.
