Greenwood Village, Colo. (June 10, 2014) – Envision Healthcare Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: EVHC) (Envision or Company) announced its EmCare division has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Phoenix Physicians, LLC (Phoenix Physicians). The deal is expected to add an estimated $125 million in revenues and approximately 800,000 patient encounters annually.
Phoenix Physicians currently provides services to 21 hospitals in six states, including Broward Health, one of the largest health systems in the nation. Phoenix Physicians’ more than 500 affiliated clinicians provide emergency department, urgent care facility, adult and pediatric hospitalist, OB/GYN and high-risk perinatal services in Florida, North Carolina, New Jersey, Arkansas, Ohio and Virginia.
“Envision continues to seek out partners to further deliver on our commitment to pioneer the delivery of care through integrated care models and service innovations,” stated William A. Sanger, Envision’s president and chief executive officer.
EmCare’s chief executive officer, Todd Zimmerman, added, “Phoenix Physicians’ strong leadership team, history of organic growth, long-term customer satisfaction track record and geographic footprint allow us to continue our market-centric strategy to develop new hospital and health system relationships that can enhance our growth opportunities.”
“As the newest member to the Envision Healthcare family, we see numerous opportunities to grow Phoenix with additional EmCare service lines and capitalize on Envision’s pre- and post-hospital services to better serve our patients and customer base,” said Dr. Rob Scott, Phoenix Physicians’ chief executive officer.
The acquisition is expected to close within the next two weeks pending completion of certain closing conditions.
