KKR exec rejoins HCA board

A senior executive of private equity firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts has rejoined the board of directors of HCA Healthcare less than two years after he resigned his seat.

Michael Michelson had been a director of Nashville-based HCA since 2006, coming aboard as part of the $33 billion leveraged buyout of the hospital giant by KKR, Bain Capital and members of the Frist family. He stepped down from the board in May of 2016 after KKR had sold $750 million worth of its shares back to HCA.
