Merger and acquisition (M&A) activities continue to be major drivers in the healthcare market and have diversified into several categories.
- Health Systems merging with Health Systems
- Physician Practices merging with Physician Practices
- Health Systems acquiring Physician Practices
- Managed Care Organizations affiliating with Health Systems
- Private Equity and Private Capital funding many of the above models
