In a strategic move to build its presence in the Midwest, Beacon Health Management acquired 10 skilled nursing facilities in Iowa last month.

Capital Funding Group Closes Q1 In Style

Capital Funding Group Closes Q1 In Style

Capital Funding Group’s new off-balance sheet credit venture, CFG Credit Partners, has done it again, arranging another nine-figure bridge loan to support the acquisition of a skilled nursing portfolio.
