Published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the research highlights a pattern of asset stripping at health care facilities purchased by private-equity firms, its researchers said, and is the first study to analyze the activity nationwide. ‘It’s a very striking finding and should change the way people think about private equity in hospitals,’ said Dr. Stephanie Woolhandler, a distinguished professor of public health at Hunter, part of CUNY, and one of seven authors of the study. ‘The PE firms say, “We bring new capital into hospitals.” It turns out that’s not quite true.'” Gretchen Morgenson, “After private equity takes over hospitals, they are less able to care for patients, top medical researchers say,” NBC.
