NEA’s sale continues the trend of hospital outsourced clinical services consolidation, driven by regulatory pressures and most recently the implementation of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015, and marks the 85th transaction in emergency medicine since 2008. NEA’s more than 65 physicians and advanced practice clinicians staff three of the busiest emergency departments in Northern Atlanta, providing care to over 170,000 patients a year.

“Edgemont’s deep healthcare industry knowledge and transaction experience gave us confidence that NEA’s shareholders would achieve an outstanding result,” said Dr. Robert Higgins, President Emeritus of NEA. “Jeff’s relentless commitment to physicians and intimate understanding of the emergency medicine business resulted in a great transaction for NEA’s shareholders.”

Dr. Larry Brannam, President of NEA, said, “Edgemont’s expert advice and guidance throughout the highly competitive sale process gave NEA’s shareholders comfort in knowing that the practice is joining a partner that will provide the resources necessary to serve the patients in our community. We are grateful to the Edgemont team for its expert advice and guidance throughout the sale process.”

Edgemont’s role as NEA’s exclusive M&A advisor is the firm's eleventh closed transaction on behalf of hospital-based physician groups and management companies and fifth in Emergency Medicine.
