Hammond Hanlon Camp LLC Advises Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on the Acquisition of Marina Del Rey Hospital and a Majority Interest in Del Rey Surgery Center
posted on November 12, 2015
 

SAN DIEGO — Hammond Hanlon Camp LLC (“H2C”), a healthcare-focused investment banking firm, served as the exclusive advisor to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (“Cedars-Sinai”) in connection with the acquisition of Marina Del Rey Hospital (“MDRH”) and its adjacent medical office building, effective September 1, 2015.  Separately, Cedars-Sinai acquired a majority interest in Del Rey Surgery Center (the “Surgery Center”).

 

Marina Del Rey Hospital, a 145-bed community hospital serving the Westside of Los Angeles, provides a broad range of general acute care services as well as spine and orthopedic specialty services.  Prior to the acquisition, MDRH and the Surgery Center were owned by a group of private investors and physicians led by Westridge Capital, a Los Angeles based private investment firm.  "Cedars-Sinai looks forward to working closely with Marina Del Rey Hospital's medical staff, management team and employees to understand the needs and opportunities for enhanced service to the community," said Thomas Priselac, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cedars-Sinai.

 

Cedars-Sinai engaged H2C in early 2015 to assist in the evaluation and purchase of MDRH.  As strategic and financial advisor to Cedars-Sinai, H2C provided financial analysis, coordinated transaction planning and execution, and played a key role in developing the strategy which led to a successful result.  “H2C was instrumental in assessing this strategic opportunity for Cedars-Sinai.  Their industry knowledge and transactional expertise were crucial to navigating a complex transaction process and completing the transaction on time,” said Rick Jacobs, SVP and Chief Strategy Officer for Cedars-Sinai.  

 

“As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, sophisticated health systems like Cedars-Sinai are constantly evaluating market opportunities.  We are pleased that we could be a part of this next step in Cedars-Sinai’s growth,” said Michael Hammond, Principal at H2C.
