Advisory Services for Hospitals and Health Systems

In today’s rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, American hospitals and health systems must exercise the utmost due diligence in making capital investments and pursuing M&A transactions. Burgett Capital Partners provides expert guidance on these critical strategic and financial decisions, helping clients navigate complex opportunities.

Our approach integrates strategic planning, financial planning, and project/deal execution, recognizing these disciplines as interrelated and interdependent. This holistic method enables us to deliver effective solutions that strike a balance between making sound investment decisions and pursuing growth-focused projects and transactions.

We advise senior executives on critical growth decisions such as large capital projects and start-ups—such as new outpatient locations, ASCs, and service lines—as well as M&A transactions, including acquisitions, divestitures, and joint ventures. Our team assists senior executives in project management, deal pursuit, negotiations, transaction execution, due diligence, and financial impact analysis.

We provide return on investment and financial contribution analysis for new service lines (e.g., hospital-at-home models) and capital projects, including expanding inpatient capacity. We offer independent opinions and project feasibility analyses.

We support clients in developing long-term financial plans to ensure sustainable growth and financial health.
