Kyndryl (NYSE: KD), a leading provider of enterprise IT infrastructure services, has agreed to acquire Healthcare IT Leaders to more effectively address growing customer demand for its AI‑led digital business transformation across healthcare providers and payors in the U.S. market.
The terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Healthcare IT Leaders is a leading provider of enterprise IT consulting services for hospitals and health systems.
Kyndryl already supports a broad set of healthcare organizations by running large-scale, highly regulated IT environments across the U.S.
Together, the two companies will be well-positioned to support enterprise health systems and hospitals across federal, academic, pediatric, and regional segments as they navigate increasingly complex workforce challenges and a highly regulated industry.
The transaction is expected to be completed during the second quarter of Kyndryl’s fiscal year 2027, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory review.
