Healthcare M&A Activity Comes Under Fire
Less than a month ago, National Nurses United submitted a letter to the Federal Trade Commission expressing concern over not-for-profit Piedmont Healthcare’s potential to become a health care monopoly in the Atlanta area. The system currently owns 11 hospitals, five urgent care centers, 25 retail pharmacy care locations and 555 physician practice locations. The health system recently closed a $950 million deal to acquire four HCA Healthcare hospitals in Atlanta and has signed a letter of intent to purchase University Health Care System, which has three hospital campuses in the market. Piedmont Healthcare isn’t the only strategic buyer under fire. Most notably and recently, the U.S.... Read More »
The Healthcare SPAC Market
For the past two years, the healthcare M&A market has seen a surge of deals involving SPACs, or special purpose acquisition companies created solely as a vehicle for emerging companies to go public. These deals, called a de-SPAC transaction, seem to be surfacing once a week in the healthcare market, a trend not unique to this industry either. Here’s how they start: a sponsor company or investor, sometimes a private equity firm or investment firm, creates a public shell company and then raises funds and capital, called a private investment in public equity, or PIPE, under the idea that it will use those funds to find a target private company. Investors can buy into the PIPE at a low... Read More »The Primary Care Market Heats Up
Since the COVID-19 pandemic hit, there have been more than the usual number of large deals focused on primary care providers and clinics in North America. These clinics staff physicians (but are not run by them, like a physician group) and other healthcare providers to help patients with routine, non-emergency medical issues, and are often the first stop for a patient seeking treatment. A wide range of investors and strategic buyers have been moving into this space this year. Cano Health, Inc. (NYSE: CANO), one of the more active buyers, announced two deals in the second quarter expanding its primary care network in Florida. In June, it purchased University Health Care and its affiliates,... Read More »
