Introducing Deal Rx: Highlighting the Connections Between Health Care and Private Equity

In the inaugural episode of Deal Rx, host Rubin Pusha of Hall Render welcomes guest Bob Ridlen, vice president of corporate development at Ardent Health, for a discussion about health care and private equity through the lens of Ardent – a system comprising 30 hospitals, about 24,000 employees, and 1,700 providers. Bob shares insights about the complexities of health care deal-making. He and Rubin also cover the current market, noting that the anticipated trend toward de novo growth in 2024 didn’t materialize as much as M&A deals did. “We’re looking at a fair amount of deals,” Bob says, often with sellers who are “coming out of the COVID craziness.”

Rubin rounds out the episode by asking Bob a few personal questions, including the best advice he received from a mentor. Tune in to hear Bob’s answer on that question and more.
