The Nursing-Home Healthcare Company That Put the Clinic on Wheels
Aria Care Partners built a national business by taking four easily neglected specialties to residents who are difficult to transport. The clever bit is not the van - it is the paperwork, insurance, scheduling, and follow-up wrapped around the visit.
The Vein Clinic Nobody Thought About - Until It Built 130 Locations
Center for Vein Restoration turned an overlooked corner of medicine into a national outpatient network. Its playbook is less about a miracle device than a repeatable system: specialist doctors, local clinics, centralized support, and procedures that send patients home the same day.
How Smile Design Turned Three Dental Chairs Into a 60-Office Florida Machine
Mili and Sachin Patel started with three operatories in Dade City. Two decades, 60 practices and one Heartland Dental deal later, their most useful invention may be the operating system behind the drills.
The Buyers' Club Keeping Cancer Clinics Independent
How a group-buying network built by former pharma executives quietly became the largest independent community-oncology network in the country - and why staying small and independent is the whole point.

The Boston private-equity firm sees outdated software as unfinished business. Its wager is that better systems, cleaner data and practical AI can make established companies grow differently.
The Healthcare Buyout Firm That Counts Minutes in the Waiting Room

The Squash Court Startup Quietly Rolling Up America's Med-Spas
Two Harvard MBAs sketched a med-spa roll-up between squash matches. Six years later, Aesthetic Partners runs the back office for 20-plus clinics - and lets every founder keep their name on the door.
The Beauty Roll-Up That Refuses to Erase the Name on the Door
United Aesthetics Alliance is assembling a national network of plastic surgery practices and medical spas without turning them into a single chain. Its wager is that shared capital, recruiting, marketing, and technology can scale - while clinical judgment and local reputations stay local.

For 40-plus years, DFW Capital Partners has made its money on the companies nobody puts on a magazine cover - fleet washers, infusion clinics, surgical centers - and turned quiet cash flow into a $2 billion track record.
The $83 Million Fund That Turned Healthcare Operators Into a Sales Force
HC9 Ventures built its pitch around a simple diagnosis: healthcare startups rarely fail for lack of software alone. They fail in the maze between a promising product and the institutions that must buy, trust, and deploy it.
The Private Equity Firm That Refuses to Fire the Founder
For 40 years, RLH Equity Partners has bet on a contrarian idea in private equity: that the founder is the asset, not the problem. Here is how a $1.2 billion Los Angeles firm turned 'high touch meets high tech' into a portfolio worth $4.2 billion in exits.
The Company Behind 80 Million Lunches - and Almost Everything Around Them

UnitedHealth Group

Bristol Hospice
Bristol Hospice is a Salt Lake City-based provider of hospice and palliative care that has grown from a single Utah location in 2006 into a national operator running roughly 78-80 locations across 25 states. Backed by private equity firm Webster Equity Partners, it offers adult and pediatric hospice, palliative care, and specialty comfort programs for dementia, respiratory disease, sleep, and veterans, with a mission centered on compassion, respect, and 'a reverence for life.'
