M&A Hospice M&A Expected to Stay Strong in 2022

Kevin Palamara and Jake Vesely were recently quoted in an article on Hospice News.

Despite prevailing COVID-19 headwinds, the hospice and home health mergers and acquisitions market shows no signs of slowing. Labor shortages plaguing the industry may be spurring additional activity as the dwindling workforce is limiting some providers’ ability to grow organically.

A number of the larger strategic buyers — LHC Group (NASDAQ: LHCG), Amedisys (NASDAQ: AMED), The Pennant Group (NYSE: PNTG), Addus (NYSE: ADUS)— have indicated that they will pull back on hospice M&A due to COVID headwinds and high valuations, or will turn their focus towards home health.

However, these moves likely do not signal a downturn in the market, according to Kevin Palamara, managing director, and Jake Vesely, investment banking associate, of the M&A advisory firm Provident Healthcare Partners.
