The Healthcare Industry Group, a subsidiary of A& M, is at the forefront of delivering transformational change to the healthcare industry. Known as an established leader that delivers tangible results for healthcare executives, boards, private equity firms, investors, law firms and government agencies, our professionals advise organizations on financial and operational performance improvement, strategic growth and unlocking value across the investment lifecycle. Our team provides additional expertise in interim management, restructuring, revenue cycle management, mergers and acquisitions, compliance and regulatory, digital technology and analytics.

HIG's Healthcare Services practice (HCS), with offices throughout the US, focuses on serving private equity firm's portfolio companies and public and private healthcare companies. Our HCS services include performance improvement/operational turnarounds, cost optimization, M& A services, finance operations, and interim management (including CFO services):

• Performance Improvement/Operational Turnaround : Whether serving in interim management roles or in a performance improvement advisory capacity, we draw on deep operational heritage and proven approaches (such as our proprietary rapid results diagnostic) to assess businesses and identify key areas impeding performance quickly and effectively.
• Cost Optimization : A& M's cost optimization program is a holistic, cross-functional approach that focuses on quickly identifying high-impact opportunities for EBITDA and cash flow improvements across the entire cost structure. A& M's cost optimization focuses on driving significant improvements in cost structure by providing full transparency on cost and margin profiles to simplify and streamline the business and increase the efficiency of overhead costs.
• M& A Services : A& M supports companies throughout the M& A lifecycle, including conducting operational/synergy due diligence, integration planning and execution, as well as divestiture and carve-out planning and execution.
• Finance Operations: A& M drives improvement to its clients' finance operations, including management reporting and optimization of the month-end close process.
• Interim Management : In select instances, one of HCS's experienced operators may step into an interim role (i.e. CEO, COO, CFO) to drive change while a full-time replacement is being recruited.
