“The hospitalist sector is the fastest growing medical specialty in the US, and we continue to see strong M&A deal flow in the space as hospitals seek to more effectively manage risk within the post-reform environment and Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs)," says Turner Bredrup (pictured), a managing director and head of Harris Williams & Co’s Healthcare & Life Sciences Group. “Harris Williams & Co. is proud to have advised on transactions involving two of the leading hospitalist management companies, both Cogent and HMG, in the last year.”
