CHICAGO and FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Jan. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Houlihan Smith & Company, Inc. (Houlihan) completed advisory services for a non-control investment into Tri-Tech Health, LLC, (Tri-Tech Health) as announced by Charles Botchway, Group Managing Director and Vice Chairman of Houlihan. The advisory services were led by Houlihan Smith Managing Director Reginald McGaugh. Terms of the investment were not disclosed.

"We have been working with Mr. McGaugh and his team since the 3Q of 2008 and truly appreciate their efforts in helping us develop a comprehensive strategy to address our funding needs related to our substantial growth initiatives," said Dr. Michael Kazamias, CEO of Tri-Tech Health.
