A quick look at investment in the healthcare industry
A lot of money goes into the healthcare industry.
Given our fondness at SEC Watch for analyzing Form D data on private funding, we thought this would be an appropriate time to highlight healthcare-related investments in the past year. Out of 33 industry categories, 5 are related to the broader healthcare industry. Check out the numbers below for 2009, and for detailed information on each company and investment, download our Excel data several posts down:

Pharmaceuticals: $858,700,448
Hospitals and Physicians: $100,437,958
