Glen Reed of King & Spalding has been involved in health care law since he graduated from Yale Law School in 1976.

He helped found the firm’s health care practice and its Health Law and Policy Forum, which started in 1992 as health law and the industry began to change and be debated heavily.

In the mid-1990s, Reed assisted many hospitals with the restructuring and integration with physician practices, including the first physician/hospital managed care network in Georgia—The Piedmont Clinic, which now has over 1,500 participating physicians and six hospitals.

He also was the principal architect of many other healthcare restructurings, mergers and integrations in Georgia.

Reed was a founding board member for MedShare International, which sends unused medical devices and supplies to developing countries. His family foundation raised funds for shipping of these goods overseas.
