"We greatly appreciated the expertise and agility of First Citizens Bank in supporting our financing and banking needs as we advance our growth objectives."

"Onicx Group is well-recognized for its real estate expertise and has continued to demonstrate skill in managing its portfolio of top-tier medical properties such as these," said William Douglass, group head and managing director of the Healthcare Finance business at First Citizens Bank.
