DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tenet Healthcare (NYSE: THC) and FastMed Urgent Care announced today that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which FastMed will purchase Tenet’s urgent care platform, which is operated under the CareSpot and MedPost brands and managed by Tenet’s United Surgical Partners International (USPI) subsidiary.
FastMed is one of the nation’s largest independent urgent care providers with 104 locations in North Carolina, Arizona and Texas. The transaction will add 87 CareSpot and MedPost centers, increasing patient access to FastMed’s healthcare services in Arizona and Texas, while enabling the company to expand into Florida and California where most of the acquired centers are located.
Tenet’s urgent care centers are well-established with a reputation for high-quality medical care. They will complement FastMed’s portfolio, which is distinguished by its commitment to superior patient service and adherence to the highest clinical standards. FastMed is the only independent urgent care operator in the three states that it currently operates in that has earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® for quality, safety and infection control in ambulatory healthcare.
Ron Rittenmeyer, Executive Chairman and CEO of Tenet Healthcare, said, “We have tremendous respect for FastMed and are pleased that our facilities will become part of this strong and growing urgent care business, while also enabling Tenet and USPI to sharpen our focus on the continued growth and expansion of ambulatory surgical services. We are confident our urgent care centers will continue to thrive under FastMed’s leadership.”
“We are excited to expand the reach of our services through the acquisition of CareSpot and MedPost’s highly regarded urgent care centers, and bring our unique model of high-quality, convenient, affordable and compassionate care to more communities in our existing states, as well as in new ones,” said Web Golinkin, CEO of FastMed.
The transaction is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2021, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. Allen Mooney Barnes Investment Banking Group ("AMB") served as FastMed’s financial advisor for this transaction and DLA Piper LLP (US) provided legal counsel.
