McGladrey Capital Markets Leads Negotiations as TeamHealth Acquires the Operations of Anesthesia Services

COSTA MESA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The operations of Anesthesia Services, Inc., a leading outsourced anesthesiology physician management company in Colorado, has been acquired by an affiliate of Team Health Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: TMH), one of the largest suppliers of outsourced healthcare professional staffing and administrative services to hospitals and other healthcare providers in the United States.

McGladrey Capital Markets LLC initiated the transaction, sourced the acquirer and acted as the exclusive M&A advisor to Anesthesia Services in connection with the transaction.

Founded in 1979, Anesthesia Services and its related entities and clinicians provide comprehensive anesthesia and pain management services to eight facilities in the greater Denver region. With over 80 anesthesiologists and CRNAs, the company has been serving patients and healthcare providers in Denver for more than 30 years.

TeamHealth was founded in 1979. Through its six principal service lines located in 13 regional sites, TeamHealth's approximately 6,600 affiliated healthcare professionals provide emergency medicine, anesthesiology, hospital medicine, and pediatric staffing and management services to more than 700 civilian and military hospitals, clinics and physician groups in 45 states.

Commenting on the transaction, Elliott “Skip” Wohlner, M.D., founder and President of Anesthesia Services, said, “In choosing an investment banking advisor to work with on this process I was looking for a firm that not only had a broad understanding of the healthcare industry generally, but also in-depth insight into the anesthesia practice management sector. Paul Kacik, Chris Dedic and the entire McGladrey Capital Markets healthcare team brought a high level of experience to the table and a strong understanding of our business. This experience ultimately enabled our company to find the perfect partner in TeamHealth.”

“Given the strong reputation of Anesthesia Services and the leading position the company holds in the greater Denver region, we were pleased to advise the company on this important assignment,” said Paul Kacik, managing director and head of Healthcare Investment Banking at McGladrey Capital Markets.

Kacik added that his team expected significant interest from multiple parties as both strategic buyers and private equity groups alike continue to show interest in acquiring growing anesthesia practice management companies. “Our healthcare team worked closely with Dr. Wohlner and his team to best position Anesthesia Services to find the ideal partner capable of supporting the company’s growth initiatives going forward. With a number of highly attractive offers to choose from, TeamHealth ultimately presented itself as the best partner given the strong cultural fit between the two companies, TeamHealth’s commitment to growing its anesthesia service line, and the obvious synergies between the two companies.”
