Oh boy, Buoy Health gets a lift by raising $6.7 million in new funding for its digital tools that help people get the right care!! Sounds like a winner.
Lots of CRO deals lately. Now Evotec, a Germany-based vendor focusing on pre-clinical development, is acquiring Aptuit, which provides similar services, for $300 million.
This is what happens when you don't have a fruit in your company name, you get sold. Nursing home pharmacy chain Pharmerica is being bought by a PE firm for $1.4 billion. No word yet on whether the name will be changed to Pharnana.
Must be a fruity day, as Limelight Health garners $7 million in new funding for its employee health benefits enrollment, etc. software. What's next--a company named Apple?
In a nutty idea, chronic disease prevention firm Fruit Street has raised $8 million, mostly from physicians, which should be a tipoff to other investors (physicians are legendary for the investing acumen (not)).
NextGen, an EHR vendor which is a unit of Quality Systems, is acquiring EagleDream Health for around $26 million. EagleDream provides analytics to improve practice performance.
