Holly Buckley, Chair of Health Care at McGuireWoods, joined the Healthcare Success Podcast to share her outlook on the healthcare private equity market in 2026 ahead of the McGuireWoods annual Healthcare Private Equity and Finance Conference in Chicago (April 29-30).

On the program, she discusses why deal discipline has replaced the rapid roll-up strategies of prior years, which sectors are drawing the most investor interest, and how growing regulatory complexity at both the state and federal levels is affecting transaction timelines and costs. She also touches on what separates high-value platforms from the rest, and what AI developments are worth taking seriously versus those that aren’t yet ready for PE investment.

Watch the full episode below.
