PENSACOLA, Fla., September 21, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Emergency Care Partners ("ECP"), a leading national physician-owned emergency medicine service provider, announced today the completion of a strategic merger with Integrated Emergency Medicine Specialists ("IEMS"). IEMS has served the Naples, FL, community since 2015, providing premier emergency department management services to its partner hospitals.
IEMS will continue a service-first approach to support its client emergency departments while leveraging ECP's unique model of combining local physician equity partnerships and a differentiated clinical analytics platform focused on high-quality patient care.
ECP Chief Executive Officer, Bill Yarbrough, said, "We are very excited to welcome IEMS and their providers as a regional physician group practice of Emergency Care Partners. Their strong clinical leadership and reputation in the local community make them an ideal addition to our national group partnership of physician practices. We are excited to work with Dr. Brown to leverage our resources to deepen their relationships with key health system partners and continue to grow their local practice.
The ECP physician partnership model now serves 56 clinical locations, supported by a combined clinical workforce of more than 1,000 physicians and advanced practice providers, treating 1.4 million patients annually.
ECP is backed by financial sponsors Varsity Healthcare Partners ("VHP") and Regal Healthcare Capital Partners ("Regal").
"This partnership allows us to leverage ECP's infrastructure and resources to continue to deliver the highest quality care and experiences to our patients and strengthen our health system partnerships in Southwest Florida,” said IEMS President, Dr. Hunter Brown, D.O.
Massumi + Consoli LLP and Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP acted as legal advisers to ECP and VHP, while Dean Mead acted as legal advisors to IEMS.
