Resuscitating Troubled Healthcare Companies

As receivers and turnaround consultants, our engagements span a variety of industries.  Lately, we have been getting more calls from banks and attorneys about troubled healthcare companies.  With the healthcare industry comprising 18% of GDP (Statista), and healthcare companies often lacking sophisticated management systems, we expect this trend to continue.

It got complicated when the business filed for bankruptcy 30 minutes before the hearing to approve the sale. We continued to pursue an exit as monitor and, 15 months later, the bankruptcy judge proposed the structure we originally had negotiated.  MORE
