Scale Finance Closes Growth Investment in Colonial Family Practice


Family Care Partners is Formed as New Varsity Healthcare Partners Platform Company to Consolidate Primary Care Services Practices Across South Carolina

Varsity Healthcare Partners (VHP), a healthcare services-focused private equity investment firm with offices in Los Angeles and Stamford, announced today that it has closed a growth capital investment in Colonial Family Practice, one of the largest providers of primary care and ancillary patient diagnostic services in South Carolina, through a recapitalization transaction in partnership with Colonial’s shareholder physicians.

Scale Finance has provided CFO Services to Colonial for approximately one year and advised on this growth capital transaction process from beginning to end. SF Managing Director, Dave Gilroy, led the Scale Finance advisory team and is now a shareholder in the recapitalized company.

To consummate its investment, VHP and Colonial’s physician partners have formed Family Care Partners, a platform holding company established to facilitate the consolidation of clinically differentiated primary care practices in South Carolina and to centralize non-clinical management functions, in order to maximize provider productivity.

“Consistent with VHP’s investment priorities, we believe the growth of primary care availability is fundamental to lowering the cost of U.S. healthcare delivery, especially at the local level,” said David Alpern, a founding partner of VHP. “Along these lines, we believe Colonial’s unique business model, leading market position, and results-focused clinical leadership provide a great platform to build a leading regional primary care and diagnostic services business. We are excited to partner with Colonial’s physicians and accelerate Colonial’s already strong growth path.” “Along these lines, we believe Colonial’s unique business model, leading market position, and results-focused clinical leadership provide a great platform to build a leading regional primary care and diagnostic services business. We are excited to partner with Colonial’s physicians and accelerate Colonial’s already strong growth path.”

Clay Lowder, Colonial’s Managing Partner, added, “Our growth partnership with VHP will open new opportunities for our physicians and staff as we build on our differentiated patient care capabilities, technology and culture in what should be an exciting chapter of growth for Colonial. VHP brings deep healthcare expertise, a strong track record of growing physician practice management business models, and a strong entrepreneurial spirit. We look forward to working closely with Dave, his VHP Co-Founder Kenton Rosenberry, and the broader VHP team.”

The investment in Family Care Partners is the third investment from the Varsity Healthcare Partners I vehicle, following up on VHP’s successful investments in Forefront Dermatology and EyeCare Services Partners.
