2025년 JP모건 헬스케어 컨퍼런스의 주요 주제는?   (Korean-language podcast)

In this episode of "Counsel That Cares," Healthcare Transactions attorneys David Marks and Eric Scalzo, along with Chartis Strategic Transformation partners Sri Mani and Eric Mayeda, discuss the increasing scrutiny of investor-owned healthcare entities. They note state legislatures and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) alike have expressed increasing concerns over consolidation's potential negative impacts. Mr. Mani and Mr. Mayeda share insights into how new regulations and rising public skepticism are shaping the healthcare investment environment, emphasizing the need for private equity firms to articulate their value proposition and focus on sustainable, long-term opportunities for growth.
The discussion also seeks to counter some of the negative publicity by highlighting the critical role of private equity in addressing healthcare industry challenges, such as access to care in underserved areas. The speakers argue that a nuanced approach to private capital that recognizes its potential to drive innovation is essential, along with a data-driven narrative that can effectively respond to negative perceptions. As they look toward 2025, the group expresses optimism about the future, suggesting that investment in healthcare is poised to increase, fueled by a commitment to improving patient outcomes and satisfaction.
