Tony Paquin has extraordinary vision in developing retail business opportunities within healthcare systems. He has over 20 years experience leading strategic companies in the insurance and healthcare Industries.

He previously founded and managed one of the largest technology companies in the insurance sector, and was CEO of a NASDAQ listed healthcare services company.

He has a broad understanding of the challenges facing hospitals today. With this knowledge, Tony is able to provide strategic planning services to The Paquin Group healthcare clients, with a focus on building revenues and decreasing costs.

Tony believes that hospitals need the high margin, cash and carry revenue delivered via onsite retail operations. Also, patients need a reliable and authoritative source for high quality healthcare products to augment the services they receive from their healthcare providers.

Further, Tony feels that hospitals must create competitive advantage to secure their position in the healthcare marketplace, and to protect against non-healthcare organizations, like traditional 'big box' retail stores, from infringing on their consumer base.

Tony has extensive experience in public policy at both the state and national level. He has participated in strategic sessions at the Naval War College and has run as a candidate for the United States House of Representatives.
