PRESS RELEASE
OMAHA, NEB. (PRWEB) SEPTEMBER 02, 2015
Medical Solutions, one of the nation’s largest and fastest-growing interim clinical staffing companies, has completed a recapitalization with new investment partners Beecken Petty O’Keefe & Company (BPOC) and Heritage Group.
BPOC and Heritage Group each offer extensive expertise and connections within the healthcare industry, which makes them well-suited, complementary partners for the next critical growth phase for Medical Solutions.
“Forging these new partnerships became possible due to the incredible growth we’ve experienced throughout the past three years,” said Craig Meier, Medical Solutions CEO. “Tenex and McCarthy Capital have been outstanding partners, and we look forward to continued growth with BPOC and Heritage. Our new partners are an ideal fit and we couldn’t be more excited about this evolution.”
Exiting shareholders, Tenex Capital Management and McCarthy Capital were instrumental in helping Medical Solutions grow revenue by nearly five times during their investment, through both organic growth and the 2013 acquisition of OA Nurse Travel.
“As this chapter closes, we are confident Craig and his team will only continue to thrive in the next stage of Medical Solutions’ growth,” said Varun Bedi, Managing Director at Tenex.
“Working with the wonderful team at Medical Solutions has been a great experience,” said Patrick Duffy, President & Managing Partner at McCarthy Capital. “We wish them continued growth and all the best in the future.”
Medical Solutions maintains a commitment to providing “Service that inspires” to its hospitals, travel nurses, and internal team, which continues to drive its successful track record of growth with integrity.
“Our firm anticipates a fantastic relationship with Medical Solutions,” said Peter Magas, Principal at BPOC. “We admire their commitment to authenticity, quality, and their people. We think this is a compelling formula for growing their presence and influence within the healthcare industry.”
