Citizens M&A Advisory

Overall M&A activity and VC funding, particularly early-stage rounds, across the broader healthcare services sector saw an uptick in Q3 which suggests that the market is beginning to thaw. Investor interest in the space remains high and there is an active pipeline of near-term opportunities across various subsectors. Our team is optimistic that M&A activity will ramp up significantly in 2025 given pressures on private equity fund deployment combined with the Fed’s first rate cut in three years, with additional rate cuts on the horizon.
