Juniper Advisory is a specialized investment bank based in Chicago that focusses exclusively on non-profit hospital mergers and acquisitions. Founded by veteran investment bankers James Burgdorfer and David Gordon, the firm provides strategic financial advice relating to business combination transactions and other corporate finance matters.[1]

Over the last 25 years, Juniper has advised on many of the larger, more innovative mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, partnerships, joint ventures, and lease arrangements in the industry. The firm remains intentionally small, specialized, and independent. It is particularly active in advising government-owned, 501(c)(3), faith-based, and academic medical centers on structural ownership alternatives.
