Health care M&A is booming this year, even more than last, and it’s reaching into hamlets and valleys all across the nation. One such place: Salinas, California, from which three transactions have originated in the past two months. Of course it’s not Chicago or New York City, and that’s the point. The last time we recorded a deal for a health care company in Salinas was 2006. Here are the deals that have percolated up in the Salinas Valley: WorkWell Medical Group LLC, a network of five urgent care clinics, was acquired by Salt Creek Capital of Menlo Park, California Salinas Valley PrimeCare Medical Group, a 20-physician primary/specialty medical group, was acquired by...

Don’t hold your breath, but the Daughters of Charity Health System (DCHS) in Los Altos, California may have found a buyer. Sure, the Board chose BlueMountain Capital Management LLC last July, in favor of its well-publicized $250 million offer to keep the struggling system afloat. And we do mean struggling. Through June 30, 2014, DCHS’s five acute-care hospitals made nearly $1.2 billion in total operating income, but a combined loss of $64.0 million in EBITDA. Don’t forget that for-profit hospital company Prime Healthcare Services walked away from its $849 million offer for Daughters back in March, accusing the state’s Attorney General, Kamala Harris, of imposing...

Way back in December 2012, Prime Healthcare Services signed a letter of intent to acquire Trinity Health subsidiary, St. Michael’s Medical Center, then a 147-bed acute care hospital (down from 259 beds in 2010), in Newark, New Jersey. The parties signed a definitive agreement in February 2013. As usual, getting regulatory approval from the New Jersey Department of Health and the State Attorney General took a while. Too long, in fact. In April 2015, with the deal still not approved, a Navigant Consulting report suggested several healthcare facilities in the city be shut down or consolidated, which caused several campaigns and protests on St. Michael’s behalf. On August 10, 2015,... Read More »
