Northwest Urgent Care, a subsidiary of Community Health Systems, has acquired urgent care centers from Carbon Health in Arizona, expanding its network to over 80 sites in the region. This move follows a $200 million investment in growth over the past five years, despite ongoing efforts to reduce $11 billion in debt through hospital sales. Recently, CHS announced plans to sell two Florida hospitals for $265 million, with the transaction expected to close in early 2025.
Community Health Systems (CHS) has terminated its $120 million deal to sell three Pennsylvania hospitals to Woodbridge Healthcare due to funding issues. The divestiture was intended to help CHS reduce its estimated $11 billion debt, following a significant net loss of $355 million in Q3. CHS is now exploring future options for its Commonwealth Health assets.
Trinity Health Mid-Atlantic abandoned its plan to acquire Tower Health's Chestnut Hill Hospital in January 2022, part of a broader trend where over 29 hospital mergers, acquisitions, and partnerships were called off in recent years. Notable cancellations include Community Health Systems' $120 million sale of Commonwealth Health and Novant Health's $320 million acquisition of two hospitals, both facing regulatory hurdles. Other significant deals, such as the merger between Presbyterian Healthcare Services and UnityPoint Health, were also terminated after extensive negotiations.
Hospital stocks, including HCA Healthcare Inc., Tenet Healthcare Corp., and Community Health Systems Inc., fell after Raymond James downgraded their ratings. Concerns over the potential expiration of insurance subsidies in 2025 and risks related to state payments and Medicaid reimbursements are expected to impact earnings through 2026.
Community Health Systems (CHS) is shifting from being a hospital seller to a potential buyer, as CFO Kevin Hammons announced plans for expansion, including the recent acquisition of 10 urgent care centers in Tucson. The company aims to grow its ambulatory surgery center footprint and is also interested in purchasing physician clinics and emergency departments. With a favorable regulatory environment anticipated under the new administration, CHS expects to ease its merger and acquisition strategy after years of divestitures, which have generated over $1 billion in proceeds.
Providence CEO Rod Hochman declared "old-school M&A is dead," emphasizing a shift away from traditional hospital acquisitions. Instead, Providence is focusing on collaboration and transformation, exemplified by its role in Longitude Health, a partnership aimed at addressing key healthcare challenges. The health system is also expanding into ambulatory care and enhancing revenue cycle management through strategic partnerships.
The Zacks Medical-Hospital industry is experiencing growth driven by rising patient volumes, the resumption of elective procedures, and technological advancements. Key players like HCA Healthcare, Tenet Healthcare, and Universal Health are well-positioned to capitalize on these trends, despite challenges such as increasing staffing costs. Mergers and acquisitions are expected to further enhance market share in this fragmented sector.
The global healthcare services market is projected to grow from $8,348.44 billion in 2023 to $8,963.64 billion in 2024, driven by advancements in medical technology, an aging population, and health insurance expansion. By 2028, it is expected to reach $10,908.99 billion, with key trends including telemedicine integration and patient-centered care. Shared medical appointments are gaining traction as a cost-effective model for managing chronic conditions, enhancing patient outcomes through collaborative care.
Acadia Healthcare is actively pursuing joint ventures to enhance its capabilities, with a 2024 EPS estimate of $3.43 and a projected 7.9% revenue increase. In contrast, Community Health Systems anticipates a 65.5% EPS improvement, driven by strategic acquisitions and divestments, while the Zacks Medical-Hospital industry has outperformed broader markets with a 53.5% gain over the past year.
Community Health Systems, Inc. will participate in a fireside chat at the 2024 UBS Global Healthcare Conference from November 11-14, 2024, at the Terranea Resort Hotel in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA.
