The acquisition further cements Pentec Health’s leadership position in the specialty infusion market and will provide additional resources to accelerate organic and inorganic growth. Joseph Cosgrove, Pentec’s Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, said: “I am delighted to announce our new investment partnership with Wellspring Capital. Wellspring has demonstrated its healthcare investment mastery for many years, and the confidence that Alex, Nash, and the team at Wellspring has placed in Pentec is both an affirmation of our strategy and an acknowledgment that we have one of the most dynamic national home infusion platforms, led by an extraordinarily talented management team.” For nearly 40 years, Pentec Health Inc., has built a tradition of exceptional patient care by committing to quality, safety, and innovation. Their Joint Commission accredited pharmacy comprises two primary divisions, Renal and Targeted Drug Delivery, which provides innovative and proprietary nutritional therapies for patients suffering from chronic renal failure and highly complex therapies for patients with intrathecal pumps.
