BeSound: Diagnosing Masses for the Masses

Kindred Ventures

Our Investment in BeSound

Breast cancer screening is broken. Mammograms, invented in the 1950s, remain the dominant tool despite their limitations. They miss 40% of breast cancers in women with dense breast tissue. The process itself is slow and fragmented: book a doctor’s appointment, wait weeks, undergo a manual exam, then a screening image, then a diagnostic image. For many women, this means weeks of anxiety while answers remain out of reach. The FDA recently updated its guidelines requiring providers to notify women with dense breasts that mammograms may not be enough, sending 40 million women a letter that underscores the shortcomings of today’s system.

BeSound is building an alternative: AI-powered ultrasound that collapses weeks of steps into a single visit. By pairing FDA-approved photo-acoustic ultrasound machines with proprietary AI, BeSound delivers precise functional imaging tailored to each woman’s biology. Unlike mammograms, BeSound delivers answers in hours and has been shown in real-world studies to reduce unnecessary biopsies by up to 75%.

That vision is why we’re excited be co-leading BeSound’s $6.76 million seed alongside Overwater Ventures, Muse Capital, and Lux Capital.

Why We Invested

After an hour with Bailey Renger, we were immediately struck by her unusual background. Her technical expertise, knack for brand, and intuition for the changing shape of healthcare present a rare triple threat. Bailey began her career in science, working in an optics lab, at NASA, and at Harvard in quantum computing before starting a PhD in physics at Brown. But during that time, she faced a medical crisis: “I always wanted to be a physics professor… but when I started experiencing severe pain, my doctors told me it was just cramps. I pushed for an ultrasound, and they found a tumor in my ovary. Then I had to wait months for an MRI. That gap in care was the catalyst for me leaving my PhD to start this company.”

Her story underscores why she is so close to the problem. With one in eight women expected to face breast cancer, Bailey’s blend of scientific training and lived urgency gives BeSound a rare edge. The company is positioned to deliver fast, accurate, and scalable diagnostics—offering hope to millions.

Looking Ahead

BeSound is launching first in Los Angeles with its inaugural West Hollywood location, where women can book same day appointments starting at $349. The company is expanding rapidly, including New York in the coming months, bringing FDA approved technology, hospital grade precision, and expert reviewed results within 24 hours.

In the near future, breast cancer screening will shift from decades-old, one size fits all mammograms to AI-powered functional imaging that adapts to each woman’s biology. The future isn’t just about finding cancers earlier, it’s about giving women fast, precise answers, and building an experience that puts them at the center of care.

New York Cancer & Blood Specialists (NYCBS) Partners with OncoveryCare to Launch Cancer Survivorship Care

.406 Ventures

OncoveryCare’s survivorship-trained clinicians will treat the chronic and late-effects of cancer treatment to help bring comprehensive care to New York Cancer & Blood Specialists’ cancer survivor population.

 

RIDGE, NY / ACCESS Newswire / September 24, 2025 / New York Cancer & Blood Specialists (NYCBS), one of the nation’s leading community oncology practices, today announced a partnership with OncoveryCare to provide personalized, ongoing care to the NYCBS survivor population. Beginning today, OncoveryCare will work alongside NYCBS oncologists to treat the chronic and late effects of cancer treatment and provide comprehensive cancer follow-up care for NYCBS patients.

As cancer diagnoses increase and mortality rates fall with improvements in treatment, survivorship has become one of cancer care’s most urgent priorities. By 2040, the number of cancer survivors in the United States is expected to reach 26 million – up from 18 million in 2022. At the same time, cancer is increasingly diagnosed at younger ages, leaving survivors to manage its effects for decades. Survivorship care addresses the full spectrum of needs beyond treatment – including managing treatment toxicities, chronic co-morbidities, and mental health. Integrating survivorship into oncology ensures patients receive continuous, comprehensive care.

Through this collaboration, OncoveryCare will deliver comprehensive survivorship care, including integrated medical and behavioral healthcare, to help cancer survivors fully engage in life after cancer. OncoveryCare’s clinical team comprises survivorship-trained Advanced Practice Providers and Licensed Clinical Social Workers with extensive experience in medical oncology, who treat survivorship-related conditions such as fatigue, joint pain, sexual dysfunction, insomnia, anxiety, and more. OncoveryCare clinicians are integrated as part of the broader oncology team – working in close collaboration with the patient’s existing care team.

Dr. Jeff Vacirca, CEO of NYCBS and Co-founder of OneOncology, said “Cancer survivorship is one of the most important frontiers in oncology. Our partnership with OncoveryCare ensures that our patients don’t just survive cancer, but truly thrive in life after treatment. Together, we are setting a new standard for comprehensive survivorship care that addresses every aspect of a patient’s well-being.”

“Cancer doesn’t end when treatment does, and neither should care,” said Dr. MaryAnn Fragola, Chief of Wellness Services at NYCBS. “Through our partnership with OncoveryCare, we are strengthening our commitment to whole-person, patient-centered care by addressing the long-term medical, emotional, and on-going needs of survivors and their loved ones.”

Hil Moss, Co-Founder and CEO of OncoveryCare, said “New York Cancer & Blood Specialists is an innovative leader in oncology, and we’re thrilled to launch a partnership that will transform care for survivors in New York.” Dr. Justin Grischkan, Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer at OncoveryCare, added, “We are inspired by NYCBS’s commitment to providing comprehensive survivorship care to their patients.”

About New York Cancer & Blood Specialists

New York Cancer & Blood Specialists is a leading oncology practice dedicated to providing world class, patient-centered, and affordable care to individuals with cancer and blood disorders throughout New York State. With locations across Long Island, New York City, and Upstate New York, our mission is to bring world-class cancer care close to home, where patients can heal with the support of family and community.

About OncoveryCare

OncoveryCare delivers comprehensive, whole-person care to cancer survivors. As the population of survivors grows rapidly alongside advances in medicine, OncoveryCare provides the personalized, longitudinal care that cancer survivors need to lead happier, healthier lives. Founded by a breast cancer survivor and a physician, OncoveryCare deploys a survivorship-trained clinical team to treat the chronic and late-effects of each survivor’s cancer treatment and equip survivors with the tools they need to manage their survivorship journey.

OncoveryCare is backed by leading investors and oncology stakeholders, including .406 Ventures, Tennessee Oncology’s McKay Institute, F-Prime, and Oncology Ventures. Learn more at www.oncoverycare.com, and follow us on LinkedIn and Instagram @oncoverycare.

Vivecti Group and Sana Einkauf join forces to create a leading technology-driven procurement alliance in European healthcare

Nordic Capital
  • Combination strengthens position of hospitals, practices, and care homes in a consolidating market facing major transformation
  • Bundling of demand volume and innovation capacity creates efficiency gains that strengthen both healthcare providers and industry
  • Consistent deployment of digital solutions aims to optimize processes, accelerate workflows, and sustainably improve quality of supply in the healthcare system

Berlin/Ulm, Munich (Germany), 19 September 2025 – Vivecti Group and Sana Kliniken AG are entering into a strategic partnership: Vivecti is acquiring the procurement alliance of Sana Kliniken AG, which serves more than 1,500 healthcare facilities in Germany and Switzerland. Simultaneously, Sana Kliniken AG will acquire a 21 percent stake in Vivecti Group, continuing to support the company’s success as a partner. The combination creates a leading, technology-oriented procurement alliance with innovative products and services for hospitals and other healthcare providers in the European healthcare space. Completion of the transactions is subject to customary regulatory approvals.

The German healthcare system faces significant challenges: While patient numbers stagnate, material costs continue to rise. At the same time, hospitals confront a highly consolidated, internationally operating supplier landscape. To ensure reliable supply and achieve economically viable prices under these conditions, high-performing procurement alliances and digitally controlled processes are becoming increasingly important. This is precisely where the Vivecti-Sana alliance comes in: It bundles demand volume, innovation capacity, and digital expertise, creating efficiency gains that strengthen both healthcare providers and industry, thereby sustainably supporting the healthcare system.

“Healthcare needs strong partnerships in a consolidating market facing transformation. Together with Sana Einkauf, we are laying the foundation for sustainable economic viability and innovative solutions that offer genuine added value to our customers. We are consistently continuing our successful digitalization course: Through coordinated exchange and intelligent analysis of structured data, we create transparency, enhance service quality, and optimize the entire supply process – to the benefit of both healthcare providers and industry,” says Prof. Dr. Benjamin I. Behar, CEO of Vivecti Group.

“With this partnership, we are following our proven strategy: working with partners to continuously improve healthcare supply for patients in a sustainable and forward-looking manner – while remaining part of an international network that guarantees security of supply and innovation. In addition to our long-standing procurement expertise, we will primarily contribute our experience and perspectives as a leading hospital group and customer of procurement services to the partnership,” explains Thomas Lemke, CEO of Sana Kliniken AG.

A Strong Partner for Healthcare Providers and Industry

Vivecti Group, headquartered in Berlin/Ulm, was founded under the name Prospitalia as a procurement group for hospitals. Over the years, the company has evolved into an integrated service provider for inpatient and outpatient healthcare providers and, together with Prospitalia, today comprises ten specialized group companies, including PCM, Wawibox, h-trak, and CoSolvia. As a comprehensive performance partner and digitalization pioneer, Vivecti supports its customers with procurement services and software, professional management and central services, as well as specialized consulting offerings.

Through the Sana procurement alliance, affiliated hospitals and healthcare facilities currently source goods worth approximately four billion euros under conditions negotiated by Sana Einkauf & Logistik GmbH with industry partners. The offering encompasses medical devices, consumables, capital goods, as well as pharmaceuticals and laboratory supplies. With integration into Vivecti Group, a total volume of more than seven billion euros emerges – creating one of Europe’s largest procurement alliances, from which numerous healthcare providers in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland will benefit in the future. Higher procurement volumes secure low price levels and thus comprehensively relieve the healthcare system. Simultaneously, combining both companies’ supplier partnerships leads to a more extensive product portfolio at competitively negotiated prices.

Together with Sana Einkauf, Vivecti will employ approximately 700 staff members and serve over 6,000 healthcare providers as customers across European healthcare. The goal of this step is to relieve economic pressure on hospitals, practices, and care homes, increase security of supply, and consistently advance digital innovations in procurement.

Sana’s hospital full-service supply (KVV) will remain a direct part of Sana Hospital Group and continue to supply over 150 owned and cooperating facilities from seven logistics centers with medical products – from ordering to modular supply to invoice processing. This preserves the proven structure and ensures security of supply and stability for the future.

Hospitals and Industry Benefit from Digital Competence

For affiliated hospitals, the combination opens a series of concrete advantages: They benefit from a strengthened position in procurement negotiations and from reliable supply – even during times of fragile supply chains. More efficient, digitally supported procurement and logistics processes provide additional relief. Simultaneously, the expanded network enables faster exchange of knowledge and best practices as well as comprehensive consulting in strategic supplier and category management.

Following the combination, there will be a particular focus on the digital competence that Vivecti brings to the partnership. Through consistent deployment of digital solutions, processes are to be optimized, workflows accelerated, and quality of supply in the healthcare system sustainably improved. AI-supported applications for procurement and logistics are to be used on a shared data basis – from master data management and data mapping to scanner-based warehouse management systems. The result: greater transparency, more efficient materials management, and strategically aligned procurement optimization.

Strengthening Outpatient Care

An important area of action is strengthening outpatient care – and thus supporting the politically demanded shift from inpatient treatments to the outpatient sector. Lean, digital processes and improved procurement conditions create the prerequisites for this. Vivecti already supports outpatient healthcare providers today – with intuitive materials management solutions and a digital marketplace for professional procurement, as well as with transparency and centrally negotiated procurement volumes that enable price advantages.

 

About Vivecti Group
Vivecti Group is an integrated, technology-supported healthcare partner. The portfolio encompasses procurement, managed services, and consulting, supported by proprietary platforms, data analytics solutions, and software tools. Under the holding company umbrella, specialized companies operate including Prospitalia, Pro Care Management, Wawibox, miralytik, h-trak, WMC/WMCF, Hospital Management Group, and CoSolvia. With approximately 550 employees, Vivecti generated revenue of 145 million euros in 2024.

About Sana Kliniken AG
Sana Kliniken AG is a leading integrated healthcare service provider in the German-speaking region. Comprehensive healthcare for four million patients annually extends from prevention services to outpatient and inpatient care to aftercare, rehabilitation, and the provision of medical aids and devices. These services are delivered nationwide across approximately 50 hospitals, 58 MVZ companies with about 550 physician positions, as well as over 60 medical supply stores and prevention practices combined. Additionally, Sana offers B2B services, including services and consulting for external hospitals, particularly in medical technology and management contracts. In 2024, approximately 41,500 employees generated revenue of 3.6 billion euros. The owners of Sana Kliniken AG, founded in 1976, are 24 private health insurance companies.

TERN Group Raises $24M to Tackle the Global Healthcare Workforce Shortage with AI

RTP Global

Healthcare systems around the world are under immense strain. Demand for care is rising, but workforce capacity isn’t keeping pace. The World Health Organisation predicts that the global healthcare industry will face a shortfall of 18 million healthcare workers by 2030.

Talented and skilled professionals can be deployed to fill these gaps globally, but the systems for healthcare providers to source and relocate global talent are broken. TERN Group offers a solution.

Tackling healthcare problems at scale

After building category-defining businesses across Europe and India, including multinational online used car marketplace Cars24 and PropTech platform IMMO, Avinav Nigam teamed up with Krishna Ramkumar, whose background spans BCG, Nexus Venture Partners and social impact ventures. They launched TERN Group in 2023, inspired by first-hand experiences of the complexities of relocation and migration, as well as the acute skilled talent shortage across the UK, Europe and the Gulf.

Together, they have built the world’s first AI Clinical Workforce Platform. It’s designed for healthcare providers to connect with the global talent they require, with support for sourcing, credentialing, training, and onboarding. TERN Group’s platform vastly improves on the slow and bureaucratic processes typical of international recruitment with a combination of AI-driven workflows and human-led support for training, relocation and settlement.

Importantly, the platform delivers a far more positive experience for both sides of the hiring contract. Healthcare providers access talent fast and more predictably, while talented professionals begin their global careers with dignity and confidence, free of unethical recruitment practices.

Today, London-headquartered TERN Group employs a team of 133 people worldwide across core markets of Germany, UK, UAE, KSA, Japan and the USA. It’s trusted by over 100 healthcare clients and is supporting a global talent pool of 650,000+ professionals across 13 countries.

The future of healthcare talent mobility

Having expanded from one to six core markets this past year, TERN Group is now focused on strengthening its foothold across these markets in addition to accelerating the development of its AI Clinical Workforce platform and ramping up investment in international talent preparation.

We’re delighted to be partnering with Avinav and team through this next phase of growth as an investor in TERN Group’s $24M Series A funding round. You can read more about that raise in Entrepreneur.

Commenting on the raise, Galina Chifina, CEO of RTP Global, said: “At RTP Global, we love backing founders who take on big challenges with heart. Avinav and Krishna are just those founders – solving problems they’ve lived and felt. With TERN, they’re reimagining global talent mobility in a way that’s ethical, scalable, and deeply human, turning it into a powerful, tech-driven solution. We can’t wait to see how TERN will continue to change lives across borders, and we’re delighted to back them on this journey.”

Skilled worker shortages are a truly global challenge. TERN is rising to that challenge with an appropriately global solution that combines AI-driven agility with human support for an end-to-end solution to transform skilled talent mobility.

With AI at its core and scale on the horizon, TERN Group is redefining how healthcare talent moves across the world.

Abenex completes the sale of Inlog following a successful transformation phase

Abenex

Five years after acquiring Inlog from US-based industrial group Haemonetics, Abenex announces the trade sale of the medical software provider specialised in blood product traceability and laboratory management. This transaction marks the conclusion of a strategic and operational partnership that enabled Inlog to reach a new stage of development, both in France and internationally.

 

A key player in the transmission and medical data protection

Founded in 1992 in Limonest (Rhône), Inlog has since become one of Europe’s leading medical software providers, specialising in solutions for laboratories, hospitals, and blood transfusion centres. Its software suites are used by over 630 public and private clients across 12 countries, including major public player of the blood transfusion and several Red Cross institutions internationally. Inlog also offers best-in-class solutions for quality management and regulatory compliance within laboratories. The Group employs around 80 people worldwide.

 

Accelerated growth driven by a focused strategy

Since Abenex’s investment in 2020, Inlog has undergone an ambitious transformation phase, establishing itself as an independent company following its carve-out from the Haemonetics Group and accelerating its growth trajectory. The management team has been strengthened, a new ERP system implemented, and R&D activities brought in-house to ensure tighter control over innovation. Geographically, Inlog expanded its presence in the DACH region with the opening of a subsidiary in Germany in 2022, to better serve the German, Swiss, and Austrian markets. In parallel, the company completed three strategic acquisitions: Moonchase in Belgium (2023), which enhanced its offering for laboratories with a web-based solution and entering the Benelux region; and Ubilab (2023) and Viskali (2022) in France, which deepened Inlog’s expertise in quality management software. Inlog has achieved significant growth, doubled its sales and solidified its position as a leading provider of critical processes digitalisation services in the healthcare sector.

 

A new chapter to accelerate innovation and international expansion

This change in ownership marks the beginning of a new phase of development for Inlog, with a clear ambition to strengthen its international footprint and drive innovation in response to the evolving digital and regulatory challenges of the healthcare sector. This new chapter builds on the solid foundations established in recent years: sustained growth momentum, a recognised software offering, and a resilient business model. It also extends the company’s societal commitments — Inlog became a purpose-driven company in 2023, with a governance framework aligned with long-term sustainability and positive impact objectives.

 

David Kalfon, CEO and President of Inlog, comments:
“We are extremely proud of the journey we have taken alongside Abenex. Their support has been instrumental in structuring our growth, expanding and modernising our software suite, and entering new markets. We look forward to this next chapter with confidence and enthusiasm, alongside our new shareholder.”

 

Thomas Peretti, Partner at Abenex, adds:
“Inlog is a prime example of our engaged and operational investment approach, working alongside passionate management teams. In just five years, the company has undergone a profound transformation — expanding its geographic footprint, significantly improving its ESG performance, and broadening its software offering, all while maintaining an outstanding level of quality and customer satisfaction. This remarkable trajectory also translated into a strong performance for our Funds. We are proud to have played a role in this success and confident in Inlog’s ability to continue its development.”

Deerfield Management Announces Sale of Melinta Therapeutics

Deerfield

Successful outcome illustrates Deerfield’s ability to integrate financial and operational capabilities to create value

NEW YORKSept. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Deerfield Management Company, an investment firm dedicated to advancing healthcare, announced that it has closed on the sale of its portfolio company Melinta Therapeutics to CorMedix, Inc.

In 2020Deerfield assumed full private ownership of Melinta in a financial restructuring, announcing plans to deploy Deerfield’s operational, business development, data analytics, and market research capabilities to sustainably grow and expand Melinta’s product portfolio.

“When we acquired Melinta, we saw a solid base to build on – a small hospital antibiotics business with a committed and talented workforce, but lacking a complete leadership team and cohesive strategy for long-term growth and value creation. We knew we had the opportunity to create a leader in serving critically ill patients through assembling the right team and acquiring the right products to provide operating leverage,” said Jonathan Leff, Partner at Deerfield and member of the Melinta Board of Directors. “The company’s success over the last five years is a great credit to the hard work and collaboration of both the Melinta team and the Deerfield team.”

As a result of recruiting exceptional talent, including Chief Executive Officer Christine Ann Miller, plus licensing and acquiring several new products, Melinta nearly doubled revenue, established positive cash flow, and achieved sustainable profitability. Today, the company’s six marketed hospital- and clinic-focused infectious disease products include REZZAYO® (rezafungin for injection), MINOCIN® (minocycline) for Injection, VABOMERE® (meropenem and vaborbactam), KIMYRSA® (oritavancin), ORBACTIV® (oritavancin), BAXDELA® (delafloxacin), as well as an additional cardiovascular product, TOPROL-XL® (metoprolol succinate).

Deerfield’s partnership was instrumental in Melinta’s evolution into a leader in hospital and acute care,” said Christine Ann Miller, CEO of Melinta Therapeutics. “Their strategic support and deep understanding of complex care settings empowered us to build a commercial platform attuned to the unique needs of the hospital ecosystem. Together, we accelerated growth, expanded our portfolio, and ensured our therapies reached patients when they are most vulnerable. I am deeply appreciative of our collaboration with Deerfield, which positioned Melinta for lasting impact and continued success in the acute care arena.”

“The transformation and acquisition of Melinta is an excellent example of the distinctive set of operating, product development, and transactional capabilities that Deerfield brings to bear in healthcare,” said Jim Flynn, Managing Partner at Deerfield. “Our approach required not only creative and flexible financing approaches but significant operational engagement in rebuilding a healthy, commercial-stage infectious disease company. We congratulate the Melinta team on this remarkable outcome, which underscores the value of the company’s medicines to patients in need.”

HealthEdge and UST HealthProof Merge, Creating Disruptive AI-Powered, Healthcare Payer Technology and Services Leader Under the Ownership of Bain Capital

BainCapital

Combination creates a leading, next generation claims operating system for payers, with end-to-end AI capabilities for claims, payments, care & utilization management, payment integrity, and member engagement, serving 115+ health plans 

BOSTON, September 4, 2025 – HealthEdge and UST HealthProof today announced the successful close of their merger, following Bain Capital’s acquisition of UST HealthProof from UST. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Headquartered in Boston, the combined company will operate as HealthEdge. With its significant reach into the U.S. healthcare system, touching over 110 million lives, HealthEdge is well-positioned to empower health plans with modern AI-enabled technology and services that lower total costs and improve operational efficiency. The combined company will also be supported by Bain Capital’s forty-plus years of experience building and adding value to healthcare companies around the world to drive innovation and improve patient experiences and outcomes.

Health plans are under pressure from rising administrative costs, more complex regulations, and growing member expectations, and legacy systems are not serving plans’ evolving needs. The combination of HealthEdge and UST HealthProof creates a single, end-to-end platform that helps payers modernize their operations. By uniting HealthEdge’s AI-powered payer applications with UST HealthProof’s interoperability suite, the platform streamlines administrative processes, lowers total costs, and improves the member experience. UST HealthProof’s proprietary technology also reduces the risks of migrating to the cloud, giving payers a safer path to digital transformation while supporting better clinical outcomes for both payers and patients.

The combined company brings together award-winning technology, end-to-end product breadth, and industry experience to accelerate payer technology modernization. In particular, the combined company will:

  • Drive improved value for payers through integrated software and tech-enabled services, that can lower total costs while improving clinical outcomes
  • Unlock new product and market expansion opportunities in a growing industry
  • Accelerate platform and services innovation, by developing an AI-native operating system that supports all aspects of the payer value-chain, from claims administration automation and payment integrity to personalized member engagement
  • Create a stronger, unified go-to-market presence to address customers’ greatest needs

HealthEdge will be led by a management team that leverages leadership, vision, and expertise from both legacy organizations, creating new opportunities for team members to learn and grow. Kevin Adams, the former CEO of UST HealthProof, will serve as CEO of the combined company. Steve Krupa, the former CEO of HealthEdge, will remain actively involved as a member of the company’s board of directors.

“I’m honored to take the helm at this pivotal moment for healthcare technology,” said Kevin Adams, CEO of HealthEdge. “Health plans are looking for new ways to handle rising costs and regulatory demands while meeting what their members expect. This merger brings together best-in-class payer technology with seamless integration capabilities and experienced operational teams. It streamlines the administrative complexity that health plans deal with every day. Our integrated approach gives them a solution that’s easier to implement and more effective in delivering the value they are seeking.”

“HealthEdge has successfully partnered with health plans for years to drive continuous innovation in healthcare IT,” said Steve Krupa, member of HealthEdge’s Board of Directors. “We’re now positioned to unite modern technology with proprietary interoperability and proven operational expertise — enabling health plans to deliver a future of frictionless and cost-effective healthcare experiences.  We’re excited to join forces with UST HealthProof to deliver even greater value to our customers and teams.”

“HealthEdge and UST HealthProof are two innovative businesses with complementary customer bases, product suites, and go-to-market engines that combined will create the first end-to-end, next-generation claims platform of its kind for payers. And they have a proven track record of partnering with each other for nearly 10 years to create compelling value for health plans,” said Devin O’Reilly, a Partner at Bain Capital.

“By bringing these two leaders together, we are creating the clear next-generation cloud-based claims system for payers, with the scale, expertise, and technology to disrupt the sector. With healthcare at a critical inflection point and payers under unprecedented financial pressure, the combined company is well positioned to lower costs, harness AI-driven innovation, and deliver the frictionless US healthcare experience of the future,” said Paul Moskowitz, a Partner at Bain Capital.

TripleTree acted as financial advisor, Kirkland & Ellis LLP as legal counsel, and Ares Management as lead financing partner to Bain Capital. Evercore acted as financial advisor to HealthEdge. Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan acted as financial advisor and Davis Polk & Wardell LLP as legal counsel to UST HealthProof.
