MELVILLE, N.Y., June 19, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- North American Partners in Anesthesia (NAPA), the largest single specialty anesthesia management company in the United States, continues to expand its growing roster of anesthesia practices with the addition of Norwich Anesthesia Associates (NAA). Norwich Anesthesia Associates is a medical practice that provides anesthesiology services at William W. Backus Hospital located in Norwich, CT.
"It was important for us to partner with a proven national anesthesia provider that has the infrastructure to provide us with access to services and stability, allowing our practice to focus on our ultimate goal of providing high quality clinical care," says Paul Pudimat, MD, Chairman of Anesthesia at William W. Backus Hospital. "Our new partnership with NAPA will provide us the necessary infrastructure and resources to meet the changing needs of our hospital and our patients."
Timothy J. Dowd, MD, NAPA Chief Executive Officer & Managing Partner said "As we continue to expand our services to new geographies, we're looking for the highest quality anesthesia practices, like NAA, to work with. We're thrilled to bring the NAA team into the NAPA family."
In April 2011, Moelis Capital Partners, the private equity business of Moelis & Company, led a recapitalization of NAPA's practice management company, NAPA Management Services Corporation (NMSC) providing the company with the ability to pursue growth opportunities and maintain its leadership position in the expanding anesthesia management market.
NAA was advised by Cross Keys Capital in this transaction, which closed on June 1,2012.
