Reston, VA (PRWEB) February 02, 2017 -- Specialists On Call, Inc. (“SOC”), a portfolio company of Warburg Pincus LLC and the nation’s leading provider of clinical telemedicine technology and services to acute care hospitals, announced today that it has acquired NeuroCall, Inc. the second leading provider in the space. Both organizations are Joint Commission accredited and focus on clinical excellence having cumulatively provided over 280,000 neurology teleconsultations to date.
