Deloitte Corporate Finance LLC advises Millennium Healthcare Management, Inc. on its sale to Ochsner Health System

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Mar. 1, 2017 — Deloitte Corporate Finance LLC acted as exclusive financial advisor to Louisiana-based Millennium Healthcare Management, Inc. (MHM) on its sale to Ochsner Health System (Ochsner). MHM, based in Metairie, Louisiana, is a leading urgent care and occupational medicine healthcare provider in Louisiana. The transaction closed Jan. 10, 2017.

MHM maintains 12 strategically located state-of-the-art urgent care clinics and four occupational medicine clinic locations. The transaction will support continued growth and expansion of access for patients as MHM becomes part of Ochsner’s comprehensive medical network in southern Louisiana.

“Deloitte Corporate Finance was an invaluable partner for us, offering comprehensive knowledge of the healthcare sector that was integral to the success of this transaction. MHM could not be more pleased with the outcome,” said Zach Wooldridge, CEO of Millennium Healthcare Management, Inc.

Aaron Handler, founding partner at Elm Creek Partners (Elm Creek), echoed the sentiment, “In late 2010, we saw an opportunity to build the dominant chain of urgent care clinics in New Orleans, which at the time was still suffering from a lack of medical care providers in the aftermath of Katrina. This is a validation of that thesis and supports our broader theme of investing in consumer-driven healthcare.”

“MHM worked to set the standard for urgent care in Louisiana and now, as part Ochsner, can continue to grow as a leading healthcare provider,” said Tom Spivey, managing director, Deloitte Corporate Finance LLC.

“Ochsner and MHM both have stellar reputations in New Orleans and southeast Louisiana. We look forward to both companies’ continued success,” added Simon Gisby, managing director, Deloitte Corporate Finance LLC.
