SAN DIEGO, May 7, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- HCAP Partners, a California-based private equity firm and recognized impact investor, announced today its investment in CortiCare, Inc., a leading neurotelemetry and remote neurological patient monitoring company located in Carlsbad, CA. Hope Mago, Principal, led HCAP Partners' investment.
CortiCare is a provider of tele-health services and EEG brain monitoring solutions to neurology and neuro-critical care areas within acute care settings. The CortiCare EEG platform is deployed in ICU, NICU, ED and EMU departments nationwide, providing remote EEG monitoring and reading services including long-term, stat, and routine studies. The company's board-certified neurophysiologists and epileptologists along with its team of registered EEG technologists offer real-time brain activity monitoring and can interpret potential seizure risks.
CortiCare completed the acquisition of Physician Ancillary Services, LLC ("PAS") as a part of its plans to expand services into the ambulatory EEG space. PAS was founded in 2008 and offers state-of-the-art Portable Video EEG to ambulatory clients in physician offices or in the privacy and comfort of a patient's home. Since its founding, PAS has grown its services to cover all of New England, New Jersey, New York, Texas, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Arkansas, North Carolina, Maryland, and Delaware.
Post-transaction, the combined company is positioned as a leading provider of both Ambulatory and Tele-EEG services for both acute care settings and private practices. Hope Mago, Principal, led HCAP Partners' investment and will join the board of directors as part of the transaction.
"We are excited to have an opportunity to build a national EEG provider of high-quality neuromonitoring services", stated Brad Westcott, CortiCare's President and CEO. "The acquisition of PAS allows us to combine our hospital inpatient capabilities with their outpatient services for a complete set of neuromonitoring tools for our clients. Together with our Cloud EEG Platform, CortiCare can now offer neuromonitoring services worldwide to small rural neurologists and large academic centers alike. We look forward to working with the HCAP team as we continue to execute on this strategy."
Hope Mago, Principal at HCAP Partners, added, "We are impressed by the strong trajectory of the CortiCare team to become a leading provider of high-quality neuromonitoring services. Neurological monitoring is a growing space and the opportunity for CortiCare to provide the latest EEG monitoring technology to any hospital or physician office regardless of size, budget, or staff resources paves the way for higher quality patient care."
