Adventist Health to Acquire Lodi Health

Adventist Health, a multi-state nonprofit system based in Roseville, CA, has signed a letter of intent to acquire Lodi Health, a fully-integrated health system based in Lodi, CA. Adventist was chosen unanimously by the Lodi Board of Directors after a competitive process which included other major regional systems. Adventist was selected due to its unique blend of culture and competitive attributes, as well as its demonstrated commitment to communities like Lodi along the Pacific coast. As part of the transaction, Adventist has agreed to a significant capital commitment, the deployment of a state-of-the-art IT system, the continuation of existing clinical services, and the creation of a local advisory board to ensure local input in key decisions for the health system.

Juniper’s Role
Juniper was engaged by Adventist Health to serve as its exclusive investment banking advisor as it pursued this strategic acquisition. Juniper assisted Adventist in its financial and strategic assessment of the opportunity, developed Adventist’s bidding strategy, including the proposals and presentations which ultimately resulted in Adventist’s selection by the Lodi Board, and negotiated a letter of intent on Adventist’s behalf.
