Behavioral Health M&A Market Slows in Third Quarter
The Behavioral Health Care (BHC) sector appeared to be on the up-and-up since breaking records in deal totals in 2021 when there were 124 transactions announced. So far, during 2022, there have been 79 deals announced as of September 30, 2022, falling just short of the 83 deals announced during the same 2021 period.

Deal closures have been slower, most likely due to market headwinds facing health systems and providers, such as labor shortages. There has also been stricter scrutiny of mergers and acquisitions from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The regulatory agency has sued to block several mergers, such as the deal between HCA Healthcare and Steward Health Care System for a sale of five hospitals in Utah and... Read More »
