Tracks: Executive Leadership and Planning

The mergers and acquisitions market across all business sectors – health care and otherwise – has been battered by the economic fall-out and uncertainty resulting from the coronavirus pandemic. But some sectors have unique characteristics that make them comparatively more attractive investment opportunities. Such is the case with home medical equipment. In this session, we will explore how the coronavirus has upended M&A, and in its wake, the business attributes that are most attractive to buyers – particularly those in common with home medical equipment. In so doing, we will draw on proprietary mergers and acquisitions data, lessons learned from the M&A market following the global financial crisis of 2008-2009, and input from strategic national and regional providers, private equity sponsors, lenders, and other industry notables.
