U.S. HealthWorks Medical Group, the largest independent operator of occupational health & urgent care centers, was acquired by Dignity Health, formerly Catholic Healthcare West.
U.S. HealthWorks which operates 172 centers in 16 states was previously a portfolio company of Altaris Capital Partners and Three Arch Partners. It will be a wholly owned for-profit unit of Dignity.
As the nation’s fifth largest hospital chain, the acquisition jumpstarts Dignity’s efforts to extend its reach beyond California, Arizona and Nevada to a national level.
