Health Care


Overview | Portfolio Companies

Overview

MDP's health care team historically has invested in a wide range of health care opportunities, including ancillary care service providers, kidney dialysis chains, nursing homes, acute care hospitals, and clinical contract service providers. MDP seeks to invest in health care companies with strong market positions and management teams in areas including managed care, medical supplies and devices, health care facilities and providers, distribution, and other health care services.

MDP believes that health care companies represent attractive investment opportunities because of several favorable attributes:

  • The health care industry is experiencing significant industry changes which are creating consolidation opportunities;
  • Favorable demographics over the next decade, will create considerable growth opportunities in certain niche markets;
  • Many of the niche markets are highly fragmented, offering significant acquisition growth opportunities; and
  • The significant industry changes are causing larger corporations to divest non-core, health care related businesses to financial buyers.
