Private Equity Operations & Distressed Behavioral Health Assets
Executive stabilization, performance acceleration, and post-acquisition operational control for SUD and psychiatric treatment platforms.
Pivotal Health Partners partners with private equity firms, family offices, and strategic acquirers to stabilize underperforming behavioral health assets, protect EBITDA, and engineer scalable post-acquisition operations.
The Risk Is Operational, Not Financial
Most behavioral health acquisitions fail to meet performance targets not because of deal structure—but because of post-close operational breakdown. Leadership gaps, admissions failures, payer misalignment, workforce instability, and cultural collapse destroy value faster than any balance sheet issue.
Post-Acquisition Stabilization Is a Leadership Function
Pivotal deploys directly into assets as interim executive leadership and enterprise operators to stabilize performance immediately after close. Our mandate is to protect downside risk while accelerating operational recovery and growth.
Deployment Models Include:
- Interim CEO & COO Placement
- Pre-Close Operational Diligence
- 30–60–90 Day Post-Close Stabilization
- Departmental Reengineering
- Leadership Team Reset & Cultural Realignment
