Increasing Health Care Access by Investing in Urgent Care Centers

Rural America has a profound health care deficit, and much of that problem boils down to a lack of resources: relatively few providers, less insurance coverage, and fewer health care professionals compared to urban and suburban areas. Fortunately, private equity is filling that gap by investing in urgent care providers that have identified business models that work in rural and underserved communities.

How is PE filling the gaps?

Private equity deals in outpatient clinics such as urgent cares have expanded in the past five years, with more than 250 deals completed in 2020 for more than $15 billion in value.
