NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / August 1, 2025 / In a key leadership move, following a strategic U.S. healthcare acquisition, Sun Capital Partners has officially named Zeze Sun as the new Equity Partner.

Sun's leadership abilities and tenacious initiative helped spark a significant expansion of Sun Capital's overall operational footprint within the outpatient surgery sector.

"This transaction is a strategic inflection point not just for our portfolio, but for how we integrate legal, financial, and healthcare expertise into a unified growth platform," said Zeze Sun. "I'm honored to step into this expanded role at such a pivotal time."

Sun has also led the legal team that is responsible for full-spectrum regulatory diligence, deal structuring, and cross-border transaction execution, which ultimately has guided the firm through a complex and high-value healthcare acquisition.

Dr. Gary Y. Chen, MS, M.D., CEO of Anaheim Surgery Center Medical Group and Clinical Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at UCLA, who is formerly a microsurgery professor at Johns Hopkins University's renowned Curtis National Hand Center - also praised Sun's leadership record.

"Sun's strategic vision and deep understanding of the healthcare legal landscape was critical to making this acquisition both seamless and forward-thinking," said Dr. Gary Chen.

The acquisition aligns with Sun Capital‘s consistent strategy to scale high-performance assets in healthcare, with an emphasis on surgical efficiency, regulatory compliance, and digital integration. The capital firm is positioning itself to be a leading investor in the evolving U.S. outpatient medical landscape.

In recent years, Sun Capital has evolved into a family office that operates as a seasoned private equity firm, with significant committed capital and a diverse portfolio that spans across healthcare, legal services, accounting, media, and other regulated sectors. The firm primarily targets middle-market businesses with EBITDA between $20 million and $100 million, by applying an "operations-first" investment philosophy that blends financial discipline with hands-on operational expertise.
