healthcare acquisitions

Healthcare acquisitions occur when a company, such as a larger healthcare provider or corporation, purchases another healthcare organization—like a hospital, clinic, or medical practice. This process aims to expand services, increase efficiency, or gain market share. The acquired organization often continues to operate under its existing brand but becomes part of the larger entity. Acquisitions can improve access to resources, technology, and expertise, ultimately enhancing patient care. They are strategic business decisions that impact healthcare delivery, costs, and competition within the industry.
