Webinar Replay: Behavioral Health Mergers: A Step-by-Step Guide to Evaluating, Structuring, and Implementing a Merger
This webinar was held on December 6, 2017.
A growing number of behavioral health providers have made the decision to merge with one another, or with other health care entities, to achieve the scale, scope and sophistication necessary to thrive in an increasingly complex healthcare system.
During this webinar, behavioral health and legal experts from HMA and Proskauer Rose will walk through how to successfully evaluate, plan, and implement such a merger. This includes not only the decision to merge, choice of partner, structural alternatives, and key deal terms, but also the pre- and post-merger work required to ensure a smooth and successful transition, identify and achieve stated goals, and address strategic, operational and legal concerns.
