Becker's Hospital Review

U.S. healthcare industry trade

Background

Becker's Hospital Review was founded in 2007 by Scott Becker, a Chicago-based attorney and CPA who is also a partner at the law firm McGuireWoods. It began as a monthly trade magazine covering business and legal developments relevant to hospitals, and grew into a broader media platform under the parent brand Becker's Healthcare. The company expanded into multiple niche publications — including Becker's ASC Review, Becker's Spine Review, Becker's Clinical Leadership & Infection Control, and Becker's Dental Review — as well as a robust events and webinar business targeting C-suite healthcare executives. Pamlico Capital, a private equity firm with $5.1 billion in assets under management, made a substantial investment in the company; founder Scott Becker and CEO Jessica Cole retained significant ownership. The publication's revenue model relies heavily on advertising and sponsored content from healthcare vendors, consultancies, and technology companies, which gives it a structurally industry-friendly orientation. Its editorial focus is on finance, strategy, operations, and policy as they affect hospital executives — not on consumer health or partisan politics. Coverage of the Trump administration's second-term healthcare agenda, including Medicaid restructuring, drug pricing negotiations, and ACA subsidy changes, has been factual and analytical, often highlighting the fiscal impact on hospitals without editorializing for or against administration policies.
