Juniper specializes entirely in healthcare client advisory work. We have no underwriting, trading, or other proprietary activities. Our business is assisting the Boards of Directors and management teams of hospitals and health systems understand their strategic options and to plan and execute complex strategic partnerships. This allows us to offer advice that is free of distraction and without bias toward outcome. This single-minded focus, as well as our deep experience and understanding of the healthcare sector, has allowed us to advise on many of the largest and most noteworthy change-of-control transactions in the industry.
