US Digestive Health (USDH), a network of top-rated gastrointestinal (GI) practices managed by US Digestive Health Management (USDHM), a management services organization created to expand access to high-quality, low-cost gastroenterology care, announced today that it has partnered with Southwestern Gastrointestinal Specialists (SWGI), a specialty practice with full-service locations in Uniontown and Connellsville, PA.
With the addition of this new partnership, US Digestive Health Management now oversees a network of gastroenterology providers and services with 26 locations, 15 ambulatory surgery centers, over 150 providers, and more than 800 employees.
US Digestive Health Management works hand-in-hand with gastroenterology partner practices throughout Central and Southeastern Pennsylvania, the Greater Philadelphia region, and now Western Pennsylvania, to meet the challenges of a fast-changing healthcare landscape. USDHM provides innovative business management and technology solutions that ease administrative burdens and allows physicians to focus on clinical care.
“By partnering with USDH, our team of board-certified GI doctors and specialists can stay focused on delivering high-quality patient care, prioritizing high standards in medicine, innovation in diagnosis, and treatment for patients,” said Dr. Frederick W. Ruthardt, President of Southwestern Gastrointestinal Specialists.
“As we expand our footprint, our goal is to continue partnering with top GI practices that have exceptional reputations in their communities,” said Jerry Tillinger, CEO of US Digestive Health Management. “Southwestern Gastrointestinal Specialists’ commitment to providing patients with the latest advances in the gastroenterology field and their patient-focused care makes them a leader in this market, and we could not be more thrilled to partner with them.”
USDHM was formed in 2019 by Amulet Capital Partners, LP (“Amulet”), a middle-market private equity investment firm based in Greenwich, CT, focused exclusively on the healthcare sector, in partnership with member practice partner physicians.
Gabriel Luft, Partner at Amulet, commented, “We are excited to announce that US Digestive Health is partnering with another best-in-class GI practice that leads in prioritizing the patient experience, driving positive outcomes, and creating long-term value.”
Luft added, “We are confident that increasing access to top-rated GI practices through our partnerships will benefit patients throughout Pennsylvania. Importantly, the expansion of USDH-backed practices into Southwestern Pennsylvania will provide both current and future patients with access to more innovative, quality healthcare options closer to home.”
