STATE of the HEALTHCARE M&A INDUSTRY
The conference opens with a Keynote panel discussion on the “State of the Healthcare Industry” from the perspective of the proverbial ’30-thousand feet.’ Leading healthcare experts with first-hand information will focus this discussion on the latest from Washington; real-world experiences from the front lines of our healthcare delivery system; and will focus in particular on the outlook for middle-market M&A and other transaction activity expected in the next 12 to 18 months, especially with respect to the affects that Covid-19 is having on deal-making.

Hospital & Other Providers Roundtable
The emergency measures due to Covid-19 have caused a serious blow to bottom lines in the Hospital Sector, to say nothing to ancillary providers like home healthcare providers and, medical supply companies. With elective procedures having experienced a slowdown, what does 2021 & 2022 hold in store for roll-ups in the for-profit and non-profit provider sectors? With loss of jobs – and the loss of health insurance coverage that have resulted – will Hospital emergency rooms see more uninsured patients? Will these disruptions be good or bad in terms of generating deal-flow? What are the prospects for M&A deal-flow in the Healthcare Provider sector – in the 12- to 18-months that lie ahead?

Roll-Ups and Multi-Physician Practices
Will deal-flow in the multi-physician practice continue to surge in the aftermath of Covid-19? Burn-out in multi-physician practices were already driving roll-ups. Now, with the loss of revenue in the midst of the Covid-19 crisis, will financial distress drive more deals? In this atmosphere, have specialty practices, (dental, vision, etc.) dodged the Covid-19 bullets?
