Healthcare – Specialty Care

Many specialty care industries today are characterized by highly fragmented markets, increasing regulatory and administrative requirements, and provider shortages driven by accelerating rates of retirement and increasing costs for new physicians.  These combined forces have resulted in high volumes of private equity activity at record multiples to roll-up sub-sectors to form large platform provider groups.  Areas of particularly high interest continue to include home health and palliative care, skilled nursing, hospice, dental, vision and eye care, dermatology, behavioral health, and outsourced services including radiology and diagnostic imaging.
