The acquisition loans keep coming from VIUM Capital, which closed out September with four closings totaling more than $120 million in volume.

Despite a volatile market, healthcare investors are undeterred. Inflation, significant labor issues and declining stock value are major headwinds that should be slowing down activity, but the past few quarters have shown the resilience of the healthcare M&A market. Nearly 1,800 healthcare deals were announced through the end of September, a steep increase from the 1,560 sales reported in the same period in 2021. This year will break records if activity continues at this pace. Investors and dealmakers announced 686 deals in the third quarter, representing a 5% drop from the 731 transactions reported in the second quarter. With all the headwinds hitting the industry, we expected a more... Read More »KeyBank Returns to Waltonwood Lake Boone

It’s also a preliminary total that is bound to rise. To put it in perspective, the... Read More »Jonathan Rose Acquires Two Affordable Seniors Housing Communities
