Envision rallies on deal chatter

Shares of Envision Healthcare hit their highest level in more than three months Friday morning after the publication of a report that said the company’s leaders have started the process of selling the company.

On Thursday afternoon, DealReporter said the Nashville-based physician services company — which has been looking at strategic alternatives and was the subject of buyout chatter in November — is on the sale block. A spokesman said the company will not comment on the report and referred back to a press release earlier this week that included a note that the review is still ongoing.
