Cain Brothers, a division of KeyBanc Capital Markets, served as financial advisor to TPG Growth on its partnership with Novant Health Enterprises, a division of Novant Health, to expand MedQuest Associates.

MedQuest has more than 20 years of experience partnering with hospitals and health systems to develop and execute outpatient radiology strategies, including owning and managing freestanding outpatient and mobile imaging centers, both stand-alone and through joint ventures. As part of this new venture, the initial owned and managed imaging centers span Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, Mississippi, and South Carolina, and MedQuest intends to quickly expand its services through new joint ventures with healthcare providers across the country. 

Novant Health, a nationally recognized not-for-profit health system, and TPG, a leading global alternative asset management firm, have announced an innovative new partnership to expand MedQuest across the country. TPG’s investment in the partnership is being made through TPG Growth, the firm’s middle market and growth equity platform.

Cain Brothers was engaged to serve as financial advisor to TPG based on its deep industry expertise in outpatient imaging, managed service organizations, and knowledge of the health system landscape, as well as its long-standing relationship with TPG.
