Changing
Dynamics for a Medical Practice

According to
Healthcare Finance News, merger and acquisition activity in the healthcare
industry keeps increasing and the first quarter of 2012 is no exception.
Interestingly, the deals are being made by a broad range of medical participants,
not just the very large players. Reasons include the interest rate that
the Federal Reserve is keeping low. Hospitals are buying physician
practices, while managed care organizations are buying e-Health and IT
companies. Mergers and acquisitions impact commercial real estate assets
by changing supply and demand. For physicians in our local community who
are joining a hospital, they need an exit strategy and of course, their first
priority is their patients. But their medical practice space can also be
part of that planning. And if they currently own, it can provide an additional source of income and estate planning.
