Complementary Specialty Pharmacies Merge
Apothecary by Design, a specialty pharmacy based in Portland, Maine, has acquired privately held Healy Pharmacy for an undisclosed price. The Warrenville, Illinois-based target focuses on infertility, gastroenterology, hepatitis, oncology, HIV, dermatology and rheumatoid arthritis. Both target and acquirer specialize in infertility treatment, serving complementary geographic markets with little overlap. This acquisition will blend each pharmacy’s unique areas of expertise, such as Healy’s strength in oncology and ABD’s experience in infectious and inflammatory diseases. Apothecary by Design was acquired in August 2015 by BelHealth Investment Partners for an undisclosed... Read More »Leap Day Boosts February Deal Volume
It’s Leap Year, which means February was a day longer in 2016. This year, that extra day marked the announcement of seven healthcare transactions, which raised the month’s total to a healthy 113 deals. The services sectors were more active than usual, and accounted for 65% of the total. Usually, the services side makes up about 55% to 60%. Dollar volume was healthy, too, at $27.7 billion. But given the records set in 2015, February’s dollar total ended up 35% below the same month a year ago. The deals may be getting smaller, but they’re still being made. Read More »
Surgical Care Sews Up Two Partnerships
Surgical Care Affiliates, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCAI) announced two transactions in the month of February that expanded its Chicago-area footprint to six locations.

It’s been a superlative year for health care M&A overall, and private equity firms have made a significant contribution. With two (busy) weeks left to go in 2015, PE buyers have announced 129 deals, and that’s not including all the portfolio companies that were building their platforms in the various sectors. Below are some preliminary stats we’ve put together on PE activity in 2015. Private equity buyers account for 9% of the present deal volume of 1,395 transactions, which is typical in recent years. Deal value is a less substantial measure of PE activity, because the majority of deals don’t disclose financial terms. As of December 17, $9.1 billion has been... Read More »Schedule a demo
