Clearwater has advised C2S, owned by Bridgepoint, on its acquisition of Groupe Avenir Sante, one of the leading private clinics companies in Bourgogne-Franche Comte.
Following the acquisition of Hôpital Privé d’Ambérieu (HPA) in July 2015, Groupe C2S continues to accelerate its development with the acquisition of Avenir Santé. The group expands its geographical footprint by entering the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region.
Avenir Santé operates 4 clinics with 200 doctors and 550 employees: the Paul Picquet clinic in Sens, the Polyclinique Val de Saône in Mâcon, the Polyclinique du Parc Drevon in Dijon and the Clinique du Jura in Lons-le-Saunier. The group has been owned by Montefiore Investment since 2011.
With revenues of c. €55m and a 500 bed capacity, Avenir Santé is a regional leader in private clinics, offering a variety of care services including surgery and follow-up care. Avenir Santé has also developed a unique know-how in specialties, such as an ophthalmology centre in Dijon and an obesity centre in Sens.
With this acquisition, Groupe C2S now operates 12 clinics with more than 1,500 beds and employs 600 doctors and close to 2,000 people.
