Founded nearly 18 years ago and building on more than 45 years of experience in private equity, Cressey & Company for its exclusive specialization in healthcare services and related technologies.
The firm operates in a structurally buoyant market—a sector representing nearly $5 trillion in annual spending in the United States—and adopts a resolutely thematic approach based on identifying "big ideas" arising from regulatory, economic, and organizational changes in the healthcare system.
Cressey's strategy is based on a proven model of target, partner, and build: targeting attractive segments, partnering with leading management teams, and then actively supporting companies in their growth trajectory, both organic and external. This in-depth sector expertise enables the manager to be a differentiating partner, capable of creating value far beyond capital contribution.
The examples of PurFoods (Mom’s Meals), a provider of medically adapted meals, and HHAeXchange, a leader in software solutions for home care services, illustrate this approach in concrete terms: identifying underlying trends, structuring sector champions, and contributing to a measurable improvement in the quality and efficiency of care.
In a more mixed macroeconomic environment, Cressey & Company confident. The resilience of the healthcare sector, combined with growing needs linked to an aging population, continues to offer attractive opportunities. In the medium and long term, the manager anticipates a shift marked by three key priorities:
- Improving the quality of care,
- Better coordination between stakeholders
- And increased use of technology to enhance the productivity of the system.
True to its mission, Cressey & Company continue investing in innovative companies that place patients at the heart of their business model and make a lasting contribution to the transformation of healthcare in North America.
