GREENWICH, Conn. & OMAHA, Neb.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Harbour Point Capital (“HPC”), a private equity investment firm specializing in the healthcare services field, today announced completion of a new investment in Midwest Medical Transport (“MMT”), a premier provider of ambulance transportation services.

The new investment will allow MMT to accelerate growth in both existing and new geographic locations, continuing its commitment to superior quality, safety and customer service.

“Panorama, Dixon Midland, and ORIX did an excellent job guiding MMT’s growth from a founder-led company to the industry leader we are today,” said Jeff Shullaw, President & CEO of MMT. “We are looking forward to expanding our footprint nationally to create sustainable access to healthcare, as we gain financial, strategic and operational support from Harbour Point Capital and Kevin.”
