Verticals

Overview

Women's Health & OB/GYN covers OB/GYN group practices, fertility clinics, maternal-fetal medicine, and women's-health platforms. Most OB/GYN care sits within general physician offices, while fertility (IVF) has been a standout high-growth, cash-pay, and heavily consolidated sub-segment.

Demand is supported by women's-health awareness, delayed childbearing (fertility), and the consolidation of independent OB/GYN practices under MSO platforms (Unified Women's Healthcare, Axia, Ob Hospitalist Group). Fertility in particular has drawn intense private-equity interest.
