ANNAPOLIS, Md., June 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Clearway Pain
Solutions has merged with The Center for Pain creating one of the
largest integrated pain solutions practices in the U.S. with 40
doctors and 59 clinical practitioners serving 43 locations in
Maryland, Florida, Alabama, and Delaware.
"This is a celebration of two extraordinary teams joining
together to bring clinical excellence to the communities of
Alabama," says Clearway Pain
Solutions CEO, Dr. Damean Freas. "We
are now able to offer greatly needed pain management services to
more patients, attract and retain the best talent and provide the
most advanced treatments that make a real difference in our
patients' lives."
The Center for Pain is based in Montgomery, Alabama and was founded in 1997 by
Dr. David Herrick. The practice is
now comprised of 5 physicians and 15 nurse practitioners /physician
assistants treating patients in 6 locations in south central
Alabama.
Clearway Pain Solutions is the flagship brand with the corporate
headquarters in Annapolis, MD. The
combined organization will leverage financial, operational,
clinical, and technological resources as part of a national
strategy to deliver excellence in comprehensive interventional pain
management services. The Clearway platform also means more
opportunity for doctors and clinical professionals who want to grow
their careers and practice quality medicine in a supportive team
environment.
Dr. Freas also explained that the broader Clearway Pain
Solutions platform is good for those needing a trusted practice to
send patients in need of specialized pain management. "The overall
Clearway organization has a long history of effectively partnering
with referring physician offices, Worker's Compensation carriers,
and law firms needing quality interventional pain management care
for those they serve. We will continue to deliver the
state-of-the-art treatment options our community partners have come
to expect, and our capabilities will only increase across all of
our markets as a result of this merger."
Clearway is positioned to help address the opioid crisis in the
communities they serve through its integrated, interventional
approach to pain management where a multi-disciplinary team works
together to not only alleviate pain but also solve the root causes
of pain. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports
that over 70% of drug overdose deaths in 2019 involved opioids,
killing nearly 50,000 people in one year alone1.
"For two decades, patients in pain were being prescribed highly
addictive pain killers to manage their pain like there was a magic
pill, sometimes with little to no integrated approaches or
interventional treatments to address the root causes of pain," Dr.
Freas added. "At Clearway, we're changing that for the better, and
as a practicing pain care physician, it's very exciting to be part
of a team that is helping to define the future of pain
management."
Details of the transaction were not disclosed.
