Unio Health Partners (“Unio”) (https://uniohp.com/), a Triton Pacific Capital Partners (“Triton Pacific”)
portfolio company, is pleased to announce a partnership with inSite Digestive Health Care (“inSite”), which
joins the platform as the fourth major division of Unio.
Unio’s partnership with inSite represents a significant expansion of its gastroenterology business and
more than doubles the size of the platform. inSite’s 67 gastroenterologists and three pathologists join
Unio’s 40 urologists, four gastroenterologists, four radiation oncologists, and pathologist as stakeholders
in the preeminent multi-specialty physician services platform in the Western United States. With the
inSite transaction, Unio now has 182 providers consisting of 119 physicians and 63 advanced practice
providers operating out of 54 locations across Southern, Central, and Northern California.
“In less than two years, we have partnered with five leading physician practices across California, not only
adding considerable scale and density but also forging a sophisticated, fully integrated management
services organization,” said Marshal Salomon, Unio CEO. “We are focused on bringing together elite
groups with diverse capabilities, augmenting them with new resources, and sharing best practices across
the platform. The inSite physicians have built an impressive group and will be invaluable contributors to
Unio’s growth.”
Since its formation in 2012, inSite has delivered high-quality patient care as the largest independent
digestive health platform in California. It offers a broad suite of services, including a full range of GI
services and procedures, pathology, anesthesia, chronic care management, imaging, and clinical research.
inSite is supported by a robust back office with centralized management services.
Richard Kuritzkes, MD, Co-Managing Physician of inSite, commented: “Unio and inSite share a common
mission of preserving independent private practice for physicians in California. Unio’s values, goals, and
approach align perfectly with ours: empowering physicians to provide exemplary patient care and
enhance their practices via access to unparalleled management capabilities, expanded services, and a
wealth of strategic expertise.”
Looking ahead to 2023, the inSite partnership provides strong momentum for Unio to continue expanding
in both gastroenterology and urology. Unio seeks to affiliate with quality-oriented physician groups with
a firm commitment to clinical excellence, evidence-based medicine, and compliance. With a scalable, fully
built-out management services organization and dedicated investment team from Triton Pacific, Unio and
its physician partners are poised for further growth.
“The partnership between Unio and inSite will offer immense strategic benefits to both organizations and
their affiliated physician practices,” said Asia Brumwell, Triton Pacific Partner. “Gastroenterology and
urology are highly complementary specialties, and the combined organization will be an early mover in
the next phase of physician practice management expansion, creating compelling strategic opportunities
and multi-dimensional avenues for growth. We are very pleased to partner with inSite and believe this
both demonstrates and enhances Unio’s value proposition to physician groups.”
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. DLA Piper and Baird Investment Banking advised Triton
