Healthcare IT M&A Remains Resilient

We have all seen the recent headlines: US M&A volume dropped 38% in 2008 and transaction values are down 24% from 2007. Other statistics and headlines are equally gloomy. By nature, I am an optimist so I look for the silver lining in things. Perhaps this is why I have chosen to focus more on the healthcare IT sector (“HCIT”), which has statistics that offer promise of better days ahead.
