NEW YORK, Nov. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Assured Healthcare
Partners (AHP), a leading healthcare services investor, today
announced a partnership with the Cardiovascular Health Clinic (CHC)
to form Cardiovascular Health Partners (CHP), a leading provider of
heart and vascular care in the Central and Southern U.S.
CHC is a physician-led organization that provides high quality
clinical care across eleven locations throughout Oklahoma. In
2016, CHC developed one of the first ambulatory surgical centers
focused on cardiovascular procedures in the U.S. and has rapidly
grown to be a premier heart and vascular care provider in the
Oklahoma market, with a group of
highly experienced operators and staff.
"We're excited to partner with AHP to accelerate the next phase
of our growth and support the development of high quality, lower
cost care for cardiovascular disease," said Dr. Jim Melton, co-founder of CHC. "We will continue
to strive to be the most attractive option for independent-minded,
high-quality cardiologists and vascular disease specialists. With
that in mind, we chose AHP due to their deep healthcare experience
combined with their impressive track record in scaling physician
practice platforms in a quality manner," added Dr. Dwayne Schmidt, co-founder of CHC.
"Drs. Melton and Schmidt have built the leading independent
cardiovascular practice in Oklahoma," said Matt
Jameson, Managing Director at AHP. "We believe that their
commitment to clinical excellence, physician autonomy and a
customized patient experience will serve as the bedrock for CHP's
continued growth."
Merritt Healthcare Advisors acted as the exclusive investment
banking advisor to CHC. McGuireWoods and McDermott Will & Emery served as legal
counsel to AHP and CHC, respectively.
