- Will A PE Firm Fly Away with Air Medical?
Another day, another healthcare deal. But this time I also get to write about helicopters. Brockway Moran & Partners and MVP Ventures have put Air Medical Group up for sale, sources say. Air Medical, which flies people in need of critical care to hospitals or medical centers, is a combination of several companies that the PE firms began buying in 2004. Buyout shops are mainly vying for Air Medical, with Bloomberg reporting http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-08-09/warburg-bain-said-to-bid-for-air-medical-as-owners-seek-about-1-billion.html that Bain Capital and Warburg Pincus are among the bidders.
