Kian Capital, RF Investment launch US VisionMed Partners for medically focused practices
Private investment firms Kian Capital Partners and RF Investment Partners announced the formation of US VisionMed Partners, a management services organization supporting medically focused optometry practices, according to a press release.
“US VisionMed offers a unique opportunity for independent optometrists to practice at the top of their licenses, offering advanced patient care while also reducing costs within the U.S. health care system by identifying and treating serious conditions sooner,” Vance Wells, US VisionMed’s CEO, said in the release.
According to the release, the platform’s locations will focus on specialty and medical services and products for patients who may require more complex care, including diagnostic testing, dry eye treatment, vision therapy and myopia management. The investment firms are working with Lakewood Healthcare Capital to expand US VisionMed practice acquisitions nationwide and provide support for practice leaders.
“Optometry is a highly fragmented health care segment that has not historically offered supportive consolidation opportunities for medically focused and specialty practices,” Kian partner Jordan Lee said in the release. “Our goal is for US VisionMed to support partner practices in offering enhanced care by strengthening operational efficiencies and creating a collaborative group of experienced colleagues that can help improve processed and, ultimately, patient outcomes across the platform.”
