North American Partners in Anesthesia (NAPA), the largest single specialty anesthesia management company in the United States, and Moelis Capital Partners (MCP), the private equity business of Moelis & Company, have completed the recapitalization of NAPA’s practice management company, NAPA Management Services Corporation (NMSC). The recapitalization brings new growth capacity to NMSC and will enhance the organization’s ability to pursue opportunities and maintain its leadership position in the expanding anesthesia management market.
“With MCP, an active investor in healthcare services, as our capital partner, NAPA and NMSC are poised to pursue multiple growth avenues that will extend our best-in-class clinical and business model into new hospital systems and new geographies,” said Timothy J. Dowd, M.D., NAPA Managing Partner and Board Chair, and NMSC Chief Executive Officer. “This new capital resource reinforces our value proposition as a leading provider of superior anesthesia and Operating Room (OR) management services in an increasingly competitive marketplace.”
“NAPA and NMSC are top performers in the anesthesia management market with more than 700 highly respected clinical staff, leadership expertise, and innovative quality initiatives,” said Ted Yun, a Managing Partner of MCP. “We are pleased to partner with NAPA in the growing anesthesia management market and are confident our partnership will strengthen NMSC’s leadership position as the industry standard-bearer.”
Anesthesia is one of the cornerstones of modern medicine and has grown to a $15 billion market in the United States, according to Wall Street research. Anesthesiologists are required for virtually all surgical procedures, and the aging population is expected to drive surgery growth. A correlating shortage of anesthesiologists is likely to result in greater demand for outsourcing of anesthesia services.
“NAPA and NMSC’s experience as leaders in anesthesia management puts us in a strong position to address the growing hospital demand for quality anesthesia services,” said Lloyd Straus, President & Chief Operating Officer of NAPA and NMSC. “With the MCP partnership in place, we’re prepared to provide a strategic and rapid response to this burgeoning opportunity.”
