Medical Properties Trust, Inc. announced the completion of its sale of 11 freestanding emergency department (“FSED”), primary care, imaging and urgent care facilities in Colorado to University of Colorado Health (“UCHealth”) for $86 million. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the transaction to reduce debt and for general corporate purposes. Construction of the eleven facilities was funded by MPT for their original operator, Adeptus Health (“Adeptus”), between 2015 and 2017 at a total initial cost of $64 million. Shortly after Adeptus filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2017, UCHealth leased the facilities from MPT without interruption to care and with a nominal rent concession reflective of UCHealth’s strong credit quality. Medical Properties Trust, Inc. is a self-advised real estate investment trust formed in 2003 to acquire and develop net-leased hospital facilities. From its inception in Birmingham, Alabama, the Company has grown to become one of the world’s largest owners of hospital real estate with 435 facilities and approximately 42,000 licensed beds in nine countries and across three continents as of June 30, 2024. MPT’s financing model facilitates acquisitions and recapitalizations and allows operators of hospitals to unlock the value of their real estate assets to fund facility improvements, technology upgrades and other investments in #operations.

Senior Program Officer, Transforming Health and Healthcare. RWJF. Working towards a future where health is no longer a privilege but a right.
How is this legal? According to the Private Equity Stakeholder Project, this PE-owned safety-net hospital chain distributed 457 million in dividends to its PE owners while having, that same year (!), a net loss of 244 million (and 1 day cash on hand). Then they attempt to sale the hospital chain for 12million to the minority owners.. leaving them with 1.1Billion in debt that paid the outrageous dividends in the first place. This article gives the best 101 I've seen on "Dividend Recapitalization" and "Sale Leaseback Transactions" to extract capital from the healthcare of marginalized populations.

"From facility closures to compromised care, it's now a familiar story: private equity buys out a hospital, saddles it with debt, and then reduces operating costs by cutting services and staff — all while investors pocket millions,” warns Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse. In their hunt for quick profits, private equity firms are increasingly swooping in to purchase hospitals, clinics and care centers nationwide. And often it results in elimination of key services, health care facilities shutting down, experienced staff being laid off, and more. The Senate Budget Committee is currently investigating private equity’s impact on the health care system. The health of families and the well-being of communities needs to come first. We need federal action that puts people over profit. Read more here > https://bit.ly/3GEnYvk

' How wealthy investors got rich looting America's needy hospitals In community after community, the hospitals keep closing. In 2018, it was Northside Regional Medical Center in Youngstown, Ohio. In 2019, it was Ohio Valley Medical Center in Wheeling, West Virginia, along with East Ohio Regional Hospital across the river in Martins Ferry, Ohio. That November, St. Luke's Medical Center, which had treated patients in Phoenix for more than a century, shut its doors. In 2020, as the pandemic hit, it was one in Massachusetts and another in West Virginia. Followed by four more — in California, Pennsylvania, and Texas — over the next three years. Other hospitals are teetering on the brink. In 2022, Conemaugh Nason Medical Center in Pennsylvania announced it was ending OB-GYN deliveries, leaving some mothers-to-be to travel almost an hour to give birth. Last year, Glenwood Regional Medical Center in Louisiana was ordered by the state to turn away patients because of inadequate supplies and staffing levels. In addition to their financial struggles, all of the hospitals shared three things in common. They all served low-income communities that suffered from a lack of access to healthcare. They were all owned at various points by for-profit investors, including leading private-equity firms like Cerberus, Leonard Green, and Apollo. And in a move that stripped the hospitals of one of their prime assets, the owners had sold the land beneath the facilities to a little-known real-estate investor called Medical Properties Trust. MPT, which has purchased some $16 billion of hospital real estate over the past two decades, now bills itself as one of the world's largest owners of hospital beds. For many of the hospitals, the deals proved disastrous. Once their real estate was sold to MPT, they were forced to pay rent on what had always been their own property. That added to the massive debt burdens already placed on the hospitals by their for-profit owners, deepening their financial woes. It also deprived Americans of desperately needed healthcare and put lives at risk — all while enriching some of the world's wealthiest investors.

Private equity (PE) firms such as Leonard Green & Partners have quietly been buying up struggling hospitals and then loading them up with massive debt to use the proceeds to pay shareholders more than half a billion dollars in dividends. "Nearly 400 U.S. hospitals are owned by private equity investors.." I've seen the presence of PE grow over the years in the healthcare industry, and the final outcome for these hospitals is never good. #privateequity #healthcareindustry https://lnkd.in/ePQTWfRD

The recent sale of Stewardship Health (Steward Health's Physician Network) for $245 million to Rural Health Group, an affiliate of private equity firm Kinderhook Industries, revives the question around private equity involvement in health care. In the court filing, it was stated that the investment bank overseeing the transaction, reached out to the 57 parties regarding the potential sale. The bid initially started at $175 million but ultimately was driven up to $245 million. Does the additional $70 million sale price provide any benefit to the patients or employees within the Steward network? Are any dollars being reinvested in the physician group? What is the impact on the Massachusetts community? This is all on top of the recent sale of six Steward hospitals, the take over of St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center in Brighton by the State, and the closure of Carney Hospital and Nashoba Valley Medical Center. The longterm stability of Stewardship Health will be an interesting test case as it plays a major role within the Massachusetts health care ecosystem. After years of mismanagement will PE be able to salvage Stewards reputation? Time will tell. https://lnkd.in/eGAWHRCg

Credit Bureau Systems: Specialty Revenue Cycle Management & Business Process Outsourcing Solutions Provider
As a growing number of healthcare providers struggle, many are failing - especially those that serve low-income communities with limited access to healthcare. What do these hospitals have in common? They were owned at various points by for-profit investors, including private-equity firms like Cerberus, Leonard Green, and Apollo. These investors stripped the hospitals of one of their prime assets by selling the land beneath the facilities to a little-known real-estate investor called Medical Properties Trust. MPT has purchased $16 billion worth of hospital real estate over the past two decades and now bills itself as one of the world's largest owners of hospital beds. The result? Patients are left with limited healthcare options, and investors make a profit. When hospitals sell their land, investors get rich and patients pay the price. That's the takeaway from a recent report by Business Insider. #ruralhealthcare #privateequity #consumerprotection #healthcarecoverage #accesstohealthcare #healthcareinvestment #forprofithealthcare #cerberus #leonardgreen #apollohospitals #medicalpropertiestrust #healthcareregulation

This was how I got my 4th crash course in American Capitalism, which is still all about exploiting the poor, or assets in the public trust. No one ever stops the raider barron class. The rich make the laws, and they profit off the death and destruction of people in this case. Steward’s shady practices are the reason I contracted “COVID classic.” And just like the banks, the logging of the private and public old growth forests, like the housing market sub prime disaster (which also took my home), and with opiates, now with healthcare (which had been going on all along), the people are the ones who lose. These are the trails: #followthemoney Or follow the casualties. The actual deaths and the careers that also died. Next time you’re wondering why it takes so long to get in to see a doctor, ask your congressional representatives and Senators about Private Equity and Healthcare. It’s American Bloodmoney.
A must-read brand new article by someone passionate about uncovering the shady private equity transactions in healthcare and other industries: https://lnkd.in/eBVXbp6E. While most corporate healthcare journalists (like those from Bloomberg, Forbes, Fortune, Axios) appear to have cozy relationships with private equity firms, with some even engaging in a "revolving door" practice, Bethany McLean stands out. She is one of the few nationally acclaimed journalists and world renowned authors who remains truly unbiased and never hesitates to reveal how private equity firms enrich themselves at the expense of patients. The primary issue with private equity lies in its use of leverage—borrowing significantly more than they have in the hopes of realizing substantial profits. Unfortunately, more often than not, these deals go south, and it’s the patients who suffer the consequences. As outlined in my recent research, the largest leveraged buyout that corporate journalists seem to avoid investigating is General Catalyst acquiring Summa Health. This deal allegedly involved borrowing a sweet $1 billion that General Catalyst doesn’t have: https://lnkd.in/ezsaQMj6.
