SullivanCotter, the nation’s leading independent consulting firm in the assessment and development of total rewards programs, workforce solutions, and data products for health care and not-for-profits, announced today the acquisition of the health care valuation services team from Huron, a global professional services firm.

The addition of these specialists – including six experienced professionals with deep expertise in valuation services – significantly expands SullivanCotter’s capabilities and strengthens its ability to serve health care organizations across an increasingly complex regulatory, transactional, and investment landscape.

The firm is pleased to welcome:

• Shane Goss, ASA – Managing Principal
• Patrick Kendall, CPA/ABV – Principal
• Patrick Nolan, CFA – Technical Lead – Health Care Business Valuation
• Julie E. Route, MAI – Consulting Manager
• Christopher Luedtke – Consulting Manager
• Elizabeth Kwan – Consulting Manager

“This acquisition represents an important step forward in our continued investment in valuation services,” said Mark Ryberg, President, SullivanCotter. “By adding dedicated resources and new technical capabilities, we are well-positioned to help our clients address a broader range of valuation needs with greater depth, speed, and precision.”

Building Dedicated Scale and Specialized Expertise

As SullivanCotter expands its services in response to changing market needs and growing client demand, this enables the firm to further develop its valuation services at greater scale with specialized resources.

While SullivanCotter has long provided business and practice valuation services to not-for-profit and for-profit health care organizations nationwide to help support compliance, transactions, physician alignment, and strategic planning, the addition of this team expands these capabilities to include real estate and specialized tangible asset valuations.

This includes expertise and unique insight into:

• Fair market value real estate appraisal
• Real estate rental rate analyses
• Fair market value equipment appraisal
• Equipment rental rate analyses
• Asset impairment studies
• Facility review and capital planning
• Facility life analyses
• Service line carveouts
• Development and valuation of MSO arrangements
• Litigation support
• Financial reporting and financial feasibility studies
• and more…

“We are now able to deliver a more comprehensive valuation offering under one roof,” said Courtney Dutton, Managing Director and Clinical Workforce Practice Leader, SullivanCotter. “Clients increasingly need integrated valuation support across businesses, practices, real estate, and tangible assets, and this enables us to better meet that demand.”

Supporting Complex Joint Ventures

In addition to not-for-profit health care organizations, the acquired team brings extensive experience serving for-profit health care entities, including private equity-backed organizations and joint ventures between nonprofit and for-profit partners.

“Our team has a deep bench of experience working across non-profit, for-profit, and private equity environments – and brings a complementary perspective to the firm’s existing work,” said Shane Goss, Managing Principal, SullivanCotter. “This expertise in complex joint ventures and investment structures further strengthens our ability to support clients navigating today’s evolving health care marketplace.”

Commitment to Client-Focused Growth

The new team members will join SullivanCotter’s valuation practice and collaborate closely with the firm’s physician and advanced practice provider (APP) compensation, workforce, governance, and strategy experts to deliver integrated, data-driven solutions.

“This acquisition aligns with our strategy of thoughtful, capability-driven growth,” said Ryberg. “Most importantly, it enhances the value we deliver to our clients by expanding what we do and how we can do it.”
