PANJAS Equity Holding is a physician-led acquisition firm looking for the right healthcare business — and the right founder — to partner with. If you have built something meaningful and are thinking about your next chapter, let's have an honest conversation.
Most acquisition groups see a transaction. Dr. Russell sees a legacy. Every element of how PANJAS approaches a deal is designed to honor what you built — and make the path forward as clear and straightforward as possible.
PANJAS is led by a physician-executive with an MD, MBA, and MPH. Dr. Russell has lived inside healthcare operations — clinical workflows, regulatory compliance, staffing, and reimbursement. You are not explaining your business to an outsider. You are talking to someone who has been in your shoes.
The industry average for healthcare businesses sits at 2–3.5× EBITDA. Because PANJAS acquires directly — without brokers, without intermediaries — we can offer more of the value to you. We work to structure a deal that reflects what your business is actually worth.
Your employees, patients, and brand identity matter. A structured transition plan ensures continuity for the people and community you have served. You may continue as Chairman Emeritus, staying connected to the work you care about.
No commissions. No retainers. No invasive data rooms or SOP documentation requirements. We work directly with you, keep the process simple, and handle the complexity on your behalf.
Every founder's situation is different. Dr. Russell's approach is to understand your goals first — financial, personal, and legacy — and then work together to find a structure that genuinely fits. There is no one-size-fits-all model here.
The conversation stays private. The process is designed to be low-burden on you and your team. We move at a pace that works for your life — not a broker's commission timeline.
A thoughtful transition, continued health coverage, and an advisory role ensure your life after the sale is as stable and purposeful as the one you built before it. This is not a hand-off — it is a partnership.
In CPOM states, PANJAS's physician-owned structure ensures full compliance where corporate practice of medicine rules apply. You are not selling to an outside buyer. You are selling to someone who has lived your world — and who is accountable to the same professional standards you are.
The U.S. healthcare sector is in the midst of the largest consolidation wave in its history. Independent operators face mounting regulatory pressure, staffing costs, and reimbursement complexity — creating a generational window for physician-led acquirers who understand the business from the inside.
PANJAS Equity Holding is fundamentally different from outside acquisition groups. We are physician-owned and physician-led — with deep expertise in healthcare operational leadership, day-to-day clinical management, infrastructure building, and scaling. We do not apply a generic outside-buyer playbook to healthcare businesses. We understand the regulatory environment, the reimbursement landscape, the staffing dynamics, and the patient relationships that make healthcare businesses work. That distinction matters to every seller, every employee, and every patient whose care depends on what happens next.
The difference is not incremental — it is structural. Every element of how PANJAS works is designed to put more value in your hands, with less friction and more respect for what you have built.
I built PANJAS because I believe healthcare founders deserve a better option. After spending my career at the intersection of clinical medicine, business strategy, and healthcare operations, I understand what it takes to build a healthcare business — and what it means to hand one off.
I am not a financial buyer looking for the next deal. I am a physician-executive who has led healthcare organizations from the inside — managing clinical workflows, navigating regulatory complexity, building teams, and stewarding patient relationships. When I acquire a business, I bring that same commitment to what comes next. I am looking for the right opportunity: a business built with care, by a founder who wants to know it will be in good hands.
If that sounds like you, I would genuinely like to talk.
PANJAS is not trying to acquire everything. I am looking for the right business — built by a founder who cares about what happens next. If your business fits the profile below, or is close, I encourage you to reach out. The conversation is always confidential and there is never any pressure.
Independent healthcare businesses including clinics, home health agencies, behavioral health practices, revenue cycle management firms, medical billing companies, healthcare staffing organizations, healthcare consulting firms, health IT companies, population health organizations, remote patient monitoring businesses, IPA / ACO / MCO structures, MSO and HOPD operations, 340B programs, clinical research organizations, and healthcare education entities.
Businesses generating $1M to $10M in annual revenue. Consistent cash flow and a clear patient or client base matter more than rapid growth. If your business is profitable and stable, it may be exactly what I am looking for.
We acquire healthcare businesses across the United States. Geography is not a constraint — if your business fits our criteria, we will come to you.
Owner-operated businesses where the founder is approaching a transition — whether that is retirement, a lifestyle change, or simply a desire to see their life's work continue in capable hands. If you are not sure yet, that is okay too. Early conversations are welcome.
Founders who care about what happens to their employees, patients, and brand after the sale. I am a steward, not a stripper. Your legacy matters to me as much as it does to you.
Whether you want to move in the next few months or are simply exploring what your options look like, I am open to that conversation. There is no pressure to move faster than is right for you.
There is no obligation, no pressure, and no agenda other than an honest conversation. If you are thinking about your next chapter — even if you are not sure yet — I would be glad to hear your story.
Schedule a confidential 15 or 30-minute call directly on my calendar. We will talk about your business, your goals, and whether there is a path forward that makes sense for both of us. No brokers, no middlemen — just a direct conversation with the person who would be acquiring your business.
