Private equity investment in North American healthcare reached $29bn in 2022, raising regulatory concerns over impact on patient care and home health services.

Private equity investment in healthcare has grown significantly in recent years, reaching an estimated $29 billion deal volume in North America in 2022. This growth has attracted attention from government regulators, who are concerned about the impact of private equity ownership on healthcare delivery and patient care.

Critics argue that this model can leave vulnerable populations reliant on private equity-owned providers and lead to service disruptions.
