They delve into what makes a practice an attractive acquisition target, the importance of cultural and strategic alignment, and future trends in healthcare M&A.

Looking ahead, both Bundy and Ebbel express optimism for the M&A market in healthcare, despite recent macroeconomic challenges.

Ebbel specifically mentions potential public offerings by major players as a future benchmark that could spur more interest in the sector.
In summary, the podcast provides valuable insights into the complexities of healthcare M&A, offering practical advice for practices considering a sale or partnership.
