FCA Venture Partners Announces Investment in Integrative Health Centers
NASHVILLE, TN – February 3, 2021 – Integrative Health Centers, Inc. (IHC), a leading provider of specialized health care services, announced today it has raised a $2.95 million Series Seed round, led by FCA Venture Partners’ Health Innovations fund, with participation from Martin Ventures and founder Ryan Chapman. The funds will be used to help fuel the company’s growth and expand its offerings to clinics and communities across the US.
IHC provides healthcare services in underserved markets by partnering with group practices and medical centers to deliver specialized care via in-person and telehealth visits, which benefits the partner and the patient through enhanced access, coordination, and continuity of care. IHC’s method of integration and service delivery improves operational efficiency, creates additional, incremental revenue for its partners, and is specifically designed to work with patients and practices that focus on the Medicaid and Medicare population in underserved areas.
IHC is currently providing mental health and addiction medicine services to underserved markets in Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Colorado and Georgia, and efforts are underway to extend to additional states.
“We are incredibly excited to partner with investors like FCA, Martin Ventures, and Ryan Chapman,” said Michael Stahl, CEO of IHC. “Each brings a wealth of expertise in healthcare operations and investing as well as a true spirit of partnership in helping IHC provide much needed health care to those most in need.”
“We were impressed from the start by the vision and mission of Michael and the IHC team,” said Andy Patton, Executive in Residence at FCA. “IHC is having a meaningful impact on the lives of underserved patients in multiple states, and we are privileged to work with them in advancing this mission as they partner with providers and clinics across the country.”
