SC&H Capital, a leading investment banking and advisory firm has ntered into a joint venture with two healthcare consulting firms, Nashville-based Healthcare Management Partners (HMP) and Baltmore-based i3 Healthcare Consulting, to better serve the strategic and financial needs of the healthcare industry.

Even prior to the COVID-19 outbreak hit, SC&H Capital Managing Directors  Ken Mann and Christopher  Helmrath,  said they recognized the need to expand SC&H Capital's partnerships with specialists in the healthcare industry. HMP has cultivated deep experience in turnaround management across the continuum from hospitals to skilled nursing facilities, while i3 specializes in hospital management and consulting.

"I'm very excited that this joint venture brings the full toolbox to the job," said Derek Pierce, managing director of Healthcare Management Partners. "In my experience, many consultants and investment bankers only see one solution - the one they are accustomed to implementing, and that just isn't the most effective way to deal with any situation, certainly not a distressed healthcare operation with peoples' lives in its hands."
