The process focused on finding bidders that combined both leading healthcare delivery organizations with well-known academic medical centers.  As a result of H2C’s experience in sell side transactions, H2C maximized the purchase price, and secured significant future capital expenditure investments to grow the hospital’s services.  H2C completed the process from onset to closing within nine months.
