PE Not Afraid of a Little Surgery
January 28, 2013
Over the years, PE investors have invested in numerous surgery-related companies in the Healthcare Services industry—162 companies in the U.S. alone, according to the PitchBook Platform. The surgery-related deals have taken place all across the country, covering 36 states in all. However, the activity has been concentrated in certain hot spots, as the top five most active states for this space (Texas, Florida, Tennessee, California and Massachusetts) account for half (52%) of the deal flow. Last year, there were 16 surgery-related PE investments in the U.S., down slightly from 2011's final tally of 19.
