Trends & Forces

More Consolidations and Acquisitions to Come

Future growth is driven from internal market expansion and industry consolidation trends leading to acquisitions. The recent Health Reform Law 2010 [4] is written in such a way to drive certain industry changes towards a more patient value-based approach through a series of state grants and tax incentives. These incentives are targeted to shift the dollars spent on late-stage illness treatment to early-stage preventative care through health & wellness programs. .[5]
