The McManus Group was established in 2004 and specialises in health care policy council and advocacy for their clients in the health care industry. According to their website, the McManus Group 'works to provide legislative and regulatory solutions' for their clients. This is done through 'detail-orientated policy analysis and strategic political council' in their 'daily' endeavour to make their 'clients views known to key policy makers throughout government'. They advertise their 'relationship with high level decision makers in Congress and the Administration', which enable their 'clients to leverage their views with those that matter most'.[1]
