HEALTHCARE MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS
Merger & Acquisition Solutions
Unlocking enterprise value with strategy, structure, and precision
Momentum Healthcare and Technology Consulting guides healthcare organizations, private equity firms, and technology investors through every phase of healthcare mergers and acquisitions. From readiness and due diligence to post-transaction integration, we help clients make confident decisions, protect enterprise value, and accelerate growth.
The Challenge: Where Transactions Can Lose Momentum
Every transaction carries risk, and in healthcare, the stakes are higher than most. The complexity of clinical operations, technology systems, and regulatory compliance often slows progress or creates hidden costs. Many transactions struggle due to:
Incomplete operational or technology readiness before acquisition
Poor alignment between leadership, culture, and growth strategy
Lack of integration planning across people, process, and systems
Limited visibility into post-close execution risk
Momentum helps you identify and mitigate these challenges early, ensuring your transaction creates measurable and lasting value.
Our Approach
Momentum’s M&A consulting process combines financial rigor with operational insight. We go beyond due diligence to evaluate how every decision will perform in practice, not just on paper.
Pre-Transaction Strategy
• Market mapping and target identification
• Operational and technology readiness assessments
• Competitive benchmarking and industry analysis
• Strategic alignment with your investment thesis
The power of the team: While one leader maps competitive dynamics, another evaluates operational fit, and another stress-tests the technology stack. Together, we uncover risks and reveal opportunities before capital is committed.
Pre-Transaction Strategy
• Operational, financial, and workforce evaluation
• EMR, CRM, and infrastructure audit
• Technology scalability and cybersecurity assessment
• Leadership capability and retention risk analysis
The power of the team: Our blended operator, technologist, and strategist lens translates diligence into actionable insight that preserves and grows enterprise value.
Post-Transaction Integration
• Integration playbooks for people, process, and technology
• Culture and leadership alignment
• System migration and optimization
• Growth acceleration and market expansion roadmaps
The power of the team: Integration is where value is either realized or lost. Momentum builds alignment across leadership, operations, and technology to ensure lasting impact.

Healthcare M&A Market Insights
Momentum’s expertise helps organizations translate these market dynamics into smarter acquisition strategies, stronger integrations, and faster paths to value creation.
The global value of healthcare mergers and acquisitions exceeded $350 billion in 2024, marking one of the most active years on record for private equity-backed transactions.
Technology-enabled and care-at-home organizations accounted for more than 40% of mid-market healthcare deals, underscoring investor confidence in digital and decentralized care models.
Over 60% of healthcare transactions underperform post-close due to poor integration planning, workforce misalignment, or technology failure.
Companies that prioritize operational and cultural integration within the first 100 days realize up to 25% higher enterprise value compared to those that do not.
Private equity healthcare deals continue to represent nearly 20% of total U.S. buyout activity, emphasizing the sector’s stability and long-term opportunity for value creation.
The Momentum Advantage:
Leadership That Drives Enterprise Value
Featuring Michelle Pickering, Chief Operating Officer
Behind every successful transaction and integration is leadership that understands how to create value that lasts. At Momentum, that leadership is embodied by Michelle Pickering, Chief Operating Officer and one of the healthcare industry’s most respected operational executives.
With more than 20 years of experience as a CEO, COO, and CXO across healthcare delivery and private equity-backed organizations, Michelle brings deep expertise in integration, scalability, and value creation. She has led operational turnarounds, directed post-merger integrations exceeding $300 million in combined enterprise value, and built frameworks that help organizations scale efficiently and profitably.
For private equity partners, Michelle represents the Momentum advantage: access to executive-level expertise that bridges finance, operations, and human performance. Her work ensures that diligence findings turn into measurable post-close results through structured playbooks, leadership alignment, and cultural integration.
Investment firms that partner with Momentum gain more than advisory. They gain hands-on executional leadership from a team that has sat in the operator’s seat. Under Michelle’s direction, every engagement is designed to protect and accelerate enterprise value, reduce integration risk, and deliver results that sustain beyond the transaction.
“In healthcare, operational alignment is the true driver of ROI. Our role is to help investors and operators build systems that create value not just at exit, but every quarter in between.”
— Michelle Pickering, COO, Momentum Healthcare & Technology Consulting
