The Braff Group Expands Into Behavioral
Health and Social Services
PITTSBURGH, PA., July 8, 2010 – The Braff Group is pleased to announce that Ted Jordan and Nancy Weisling have joined the firm to head up its new Behavioral Health and Social Services merger and acquisition advisory team.
With more than 30 years combined work in business development and M&A at The Mentor Network - one of the nation’s leading behavioral health and social services providers - Jordan and Weisling have unparalleled experience in market dynamics, value drivers, and merger and acquisition opportunities in this unique and growing health care service niche.
“As an investment banking firm focused on post-acute health care services typically reimbursed by third party payors, we have long been drawn to behavioral health and social services and its similar market dynamics,” said Dexter W. Braff, President of The Braff Group. “With Ted and Nancy anchoring our team, we can now take a leadership position in this exciting sector and leverage our strengths in health care services.”
“Having been on the ‘buy-side’ with Mentor for 18 years, I’ve worked with dozens of investment bankers, and The Braff Group has set the standard for thorough, knowledgeable, and value-added representation,” said Nancy Weisling.
“Equally important, The Braff Group advocates on behalf of its clients with the utmost integrity, a cultural trait that runs throughout the firm that has helped it earn the respect of the sectors it covers,” added Ted Jordan. “Nancy and I are delighted to be teaming up with the industry leader and expanding its reach in health care services M&A.”
Jordan and Weisling will be based in Atlanta, GA and Chicago, IL respectively.
