Christopher M. Bowen

Board Member

For over 20 years, Chris has worked with several hundred hospitals, many of the nation's health systems and thousands of physicians on medical office, outpatient and acute care projects valued in the billions. His extensive national experience as a specialist in this field has proven to be a valuable resource to healthcare executives and their organizations.

Prior to his work as an advisor to Coastal, Chris envisioned and launched the national real estate development and capital group for Marshall Erdman & Associates, Marshall Erdman Development, LLC. Within 4 years, this national healthcare facility and real estate development start-up was an extremely successful venture. While well on its way to becoming one of the top development groups in the industry, the ownership of the parent company voted to sell Marshall Erdman & Associates and Marshall Erdman Development to Cogdell Spencer - a publicly traded real estate investment trust.

Upon successfully fulfilling his commitment to the Erdman Board and completing a transition period with the new company, Chris resigned from Erdman and was welcomed back as a member of Coastal Equity's Board of Directors - once again reunited with his old partner and good friend, Jim Harkins, to launch another even more vibrant national venture, Coastal Equity Healthcare.

Chris has held leadership roles in several major industry leaders including PM Realty Group, Dasco Companies, PhyMatrix Corp, and Universal Medical Buildings.

As a real estate advisor to publicly-held PhyMatrix Corp (a national physician practice management company "PPM"), he assisted in the recruitment of large medical groups and the development of physician clinics, medical malls and full continuum of care health parks.

Chris holds a Bachelor's degree in Communications from the University of Wisconsin at Madison and is continuing graduate study at Seton Hall University in Healthcare Administration. In addition, he is a Six Sigma Green Belt and is currently working on his Black Belt certification.
