United Medical Systems (UMS), engaged in providing advanced mobile medical services to hospitals, surgery centres and offices across the country, together with their parent, New State Capital Partners, announced that they have acquired US Lithotripsy, LP and its affiliates from USMD Health Systems of Irving, Texas.
USMD is a publicly held, physician-led, integrated health system committed to exemplary patient care.
US Lithotripsy adds more than 100 hospitals, ambulatory surgical centres and other sites of service in the southwestern United States to UMS’ mobile lithotripsy customer base. The majority of these facilities are based in Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas. US Lithotripsy performs over 12,000 ESWL procedures annually.
"By adding US Lithotripsy, UMS is geographically broadening our mobile urological service," said Jorgen Madsen, president and chief executive officer, UMS.
"We view this opportunity to expand our lithotripsy business as an important part of our commitment to continually offer our customers increased access to superior technology. The acquisition of the US Lithotripsy division brings our mission to achieve a nationwide footprint for our transportable medical services a lot closer to completion. We are excited to welcome US Lithotripsy to our family."
UMS’ unique platform offers clients the appearance of a full-time, in-house programme, without incurring the cost and burden associated with a fixed programme. The turnkey solutions provided by UMS offer equipment delivery, setup, support and operation by its experienced medical imaging technologists, on a fee-for-service basis. UMS transports equipment into and out of procedure suites on a daily basis and has performed more than 650,000 procedures in more than 850 medical facilities.
