Walgreens Driving Deals
TriHealth Unified Health System said it will buy seven of those clinics in the Cincinnati, Ohio, area, Gary W. Herschman, a member of Epstein Becker Green in Newark, N.J., told Bloomberg Law.

Deal volume in the home health sector is thriving, mostly due to the aging baby boomer generation and longer life expectancies, Patel said. The emerging cannabis industry also should see more growth through the end of 2019 because of robust state legalization efforts, Herschman said.
