In the inaugural episode of Deal Rx, host Rubin Pusha of Hall Render welcomes guest Bob Ridlen, vice president of corporate development at Ardent Health, for a discussion about health care and private equity through the lens of Ardent – a system comprising 30 hospitals, about 24,000 employees, and 1,700 providers. Bob shares insights about the complexities of health care deal-making. He and Rubin also cover the current market, noting that the anticipated trend toward de novo growth in 2024 didn’t materialize as much as M&A deals did. “We’re looking at a fair amount of deals,” Bob says, often with sellers who are “coming out of the COVID craziness.”

Rubin rounds out the episode by asking Bob a few personal questions, including the best advice he received from a mentor. Tune in to hear Bob’s answer on that question and more.
