Ventas, Inc. (NYSE: VTR) had a busy week, as it paid $1.75 billion for Ardent Health Services, one of the 10 largest for-profit hospitals companies in the United States, from Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe. The plan is to separate Ardent’s hospital operations from its owned real estate and sell the operations to one or more newly formed entities owned by Ardent’s current management. The same day, VTR announced plans to spin off most of its post-acute and skilled nursing facility portfolio into an independently traded REIT called SpinCo, which will own 355 high-quality, triple-net leased SNFs and other healthcare assets operated by 44 private regional and local care providers.
