Danaher Corporation

The company's origins go back to a Massachusetts real estate investment trust organized in 1969 as DMG, Inc. In 1978, DMG, Inc. was reorganized as a Florida corporation and changed its name to Diversified Mortgage Investors, Inc. DMG had been invested in retirement home developments when it was taken over by the Rales brothers, and in 1984, the company adopted the name Danaher and reincorporated under the Delaware General Corporation Law. It was named after Danaher Creek in Western Montana, where the brothers conceptualized it while fishing.{{cite web | url=https://www.danaher.com/who-we-are/danaher-story | title=The Danaher Story | website=Danaher}}Heath, Thomas (7 July 2008).
