I think this is the start of an explosion of private equity deals in healthcare, Richard Scheffler, health economics professor at UC Berkeley, tells Modern Healthcare, adding that he wouldn t be surprised if investment increases by 30% to 40% next year.

For as long as Jay Maharath can remember, he s showered at night - a habit instilled in him at a young age by his Asian parents, who didn t want traces of the outdoors dirtying up their home. Though always having to wash at the end of the day was bothersome when he was a child, Maharath, who is Laotian American, said he s grown to appreciate the night shower. It just feels, to be honest, a bit cleaner, said Maharath, 26, of Hanover, Maryland.
