BayMark Health Adds Two More Treatment Programs
BayMark Health Services, the opioid treatment platform formed by Webster Capital, added two more organizations to its roster in November. The deals bring its 2018 acquisition total to five. In all of 2017, the company made six deals public, so we’re expecting at least one more by the end of this year. St. Louis-based SpecialCare Hospital Management was the first target acquired in November. The comapny works with 46 acute care hospitals in 13 states to provide specialized inpatient stabilization and withdrawal management services for patients with opioid addiction. The company will retain its name and much of its staff. BayMark’s second deal took it into new territory.... Read More »
PE Firms Target Healthcare Staffing Services
Who says good help is hard to find? Just about every healthcare provider in the United States, it seems.

Behavioral Health Deals Set a Strong Pace in H1:18
The Behavioral Health Care sector has been on a hot streak for more than three years now. In 2018, the pace may be picking up even more.

Prices for these deals, which are primarily between private equity firms and/or not-for-profit entities, are scarce.

Netcare Limited, the second largest private hospital company in South Africa, was the buyer. In both years, companies that treated substance abuse disorders were most popular with... Read More »
BayMark Health Moves into Canada
BayMark Health Services, based in Lewisville, Texas, made its first foray into Canada this month with the acquisition of Canada’s largest chain of methadone clinics, Canadian Addiction Treatment Centers (CATC), a company that includes 72 opioid-treatment clinics, 19 pharmacies and one residential addiction-treatment center, all in Ontario. This is BayMark’s 10th acquisition since it was formed in 2015, when Webster Capital combined Bay Area Addiction Research and Treatment Inc. (BAART), acquired in June 2015, and MedMark Services, acquired in October 2015 from Capital Resource Partners. That combination created the third-largest methadone provider in the United States.
