WASHINGTON, DC – OCTOBER 18, 2024 – The rising influence of private equity (PE) in the United States healthcare system has sparked concerns about patient care, cost, and quality. A new book published by the American Association for Physician Leadership (AAPL) clarifies this shift and addresses critical challenges faced by the industry.
Private Equity and Healthcare: Leadership, Economics, and Trends for the Future, by Max Reiboldt, CPA, offers an unparalleled exploration of PE in healthcare.
Joined by a distinguished team of contributors, this book is not a one-size-fits-all solution but provides readers with the skills to make informed decisions by objectively discussing the pros and cons of PE transactions in healthcare. Readers will learn from industry experts through clear, unbiased, and fact-based analysis, enabling them to tackle PE challenges head-on.
“The rise of private equity in healthcare underscores the need for physicians to fully understand its impact. While financial investments can drive innovation and efficiency, our commitment to quality patient care must remain unwavering,” said Peter Angood, MD, FRCS (C), FACS, MCCM, FAAPL(Hon), president and CEO of AAPL. “Private Equity and Healthcare is an essential resource for navigating these changes while prioritizing patient well-being.”
