title: The Health Care 250.
abstract: In health care, one sector's surge can mean another's stall. So goes the story for companies that make up our first-ever Health Care 250, a ranking of 1998 performance compiled for H&HN by the HealthCare Markets Group. "It's a far cry from the halcyon days of 1995," says John Cumming, the group's managing director, "when health care stocks gained an average of 40 percent."
