Southeast Anesthesiology Consultants

We are pleased to announce that Brookwood Associates advised the shareholders of Southeast Anesthesiology Consultants on the sale of the Company to MEDNAX, Inc. (NYSE: MD).  The current management team will continue to operate the business going forward.  SAC is a leading physician group practice with over 90 physicians providing anesthesia care, pain management services, and quality management IT solutions to hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and pain management centers.  SAC’s deep clinical expertise and scalable physician management operations were highly attractive attributes to potential acquirors.

This transaction, which comprised one of the largest in the outsourced physician services sector, extends Brookwood’s substantial experience in healthcare.  Outsourced anesthesiology services is a highly attractive sector to acquirors, while consolidation in hospital-based physician services continues to gain momentum as physicians seek scale advantages.  Transaction activity in healthcare IT also remains brisk as providers and payers seek to improve patient outcomes and lower costs by leveraging new information technology.
