M&A Activity Keeps Rolling Along Despite the Pandemic

Rockville, MD – July 13, 2020 – After a brief slow-down in investment activity in March and April, the market bounced back and delivered a substantial rise in May and June. Greenberg Advisors (GA), the leading M&A advisor in transactions involving Revenue Cycle Management (RCM), Healthcare IT (HCIT), and Accounts Receivable Management (ARM) firms, announces the release of the first-half 2020 M&A Updates for these sectors.
