Dr. Tushar Ramani, CEO of CRH, commented on the transaction, “We are pleased to announce our second transaction in North Carolina. This is yet another demonstration that top-tier GI groups such as DHS trust CRH to help them meet their clinical goals for their patients, while also strengthening their business practices. We remain well-positioned for continued growth as we approach 2020.”
Jay Kreger, President of CRH Anesthesia, added, “Our MAC development program has again confirmed the value inherent in helping our GI partners initiate anesthesia for endoscopy within their practice(s), and for the benefit of their patients. We are encouraged by the growing interest in the program, as it augments our existing acquisition strategy. CRH’s operational platform provides us the means by which we can continue executing at a high level.”
