>> Maybe they find a buyer in a doctor, maybe they don't, but PE provides them an exit that keeps the practice operating in the community.

If the practice is to continue, there must still be practitioners working there. Id prefer they buy out the one retiring, but the retiree can sell to whoever they want.

As an owner of a medical clinic, there's an unbelievable difference between founder and inheritance.

One is ambitious, the other is a nepo baby.

This is ridiculous. Most clinicians prefer to be employees rather than business owners.
