About Us

Healthcare Advisory Partners is a mergers & acquisitions advisory firm that specializes in the healthcare services industry. We are a brand new firm with over 15 years of experience. Our founding partner co-founded leading M&A advisory firm American HealthCare Capital in 1994. After 15 years at one of the largest and most prolific M&A advisory firms in the industry, we thought the market could use a firm with a boutique approach. We don’t aim to be the largest M&A advisory firm in the healthcare services industry, just the best!

Our principals have extensive experience in M&A advisory and healthcare finance. We have advised on literally hundreds of transactions ranging in size from tens of millions to hundreds of thousands and on several hundred million dollars’ worth of financing transactions. Our experience spans the breadth of the healthcare services industry, but our deepest area of expertise continues to be homecare, hospice, and healthcare staffing. We have in-depth knowledge in all segments of the homecare, hospice and healthcare staffing industries including Medicare certified home health, Medicaid, private duty/private pay (both skilled and non-skilled), durable medical equipment, respiratory therapy, home infusion, in-home hospice, medical staffing, ancillary healthcare staffing, and travel nursing.

We are proud of our association with the healthcare services community and proud to be members of the National Association for Home Care and Hospice (NAHC) and the National Private Duty Association (NPDA). We have presented concurrent educational sessions with industry-leading providers like ResCare and Catholic Healthcare West pertaining to M&A issues at NAHC, NPDA, Decision Health, and numerous state association conferences and meetings.

Message from the Managing Partner:
Q4 2009

Somebody must have invoked the ancient curse “may you live in interesting times” because, for healthcare service providers, these are certainly interesting times. The last major upheaval in the healthcare services industry was the transition away from reimbursement to the Prospective Payment System in the late nineties. Although not every provider is reliant on the Medicare program, major changes from such a huge payer ripple through the entire industry. Now policymakers are at it again. The current proposal is to extend health insurance coverage to all Americans, but at the expense of existing providers in the Medicare program. While this debate is still unfolding, it has significant implications for Medicare providers and other participants in the healthcare services industry.
