This year, it included a lot of global uncertainty, as the Trump administration faced off with two Iranian missile boats in the Persian Gulf, British Prime Minister Theresa May threw in the towel on leading the UK out of the European Union, and President Trump threatened to impose new tariffs on Mexican goods if that country didn’t do something about our immigration problem. We’re glad it’s June. Despite those headlines and many more, healthcare deal volume returned to heady territory, with 140 deals, according to preliminary data. That’s only one deal shy... Read More »

MyEyeDr Acquired by Goldman Sachs’ PE Firm
West Street Capital Partners VII, the private equity arm of Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS), dove into the ophthalmology market with its $2.6 billion deal for privately held Capital Vision Services.
