Equum Medical has completed a strategic acquisition of VeeOne Health's clinical health services, significantly expanding its telehealth capabilities across multiple specialty areas. The transaction includes VeeOne Health's comprehensive service portfolio encompassing Tele-Psychiatry, Tele-Neurology, Tele-Infectious Disease, Tele-Pulmonary, and Tele-ICU service lines, positioning Equum Medical for enhanced market leadership in acute care telehealth solutions.
The acquisition represents a substantial expansion of Equum Medical's reach across the healthcare continuum. Following the integration, the combined entity will provide physician service coverage to over 200 hospitals and post-acute facilities nationwide, demonstrating the scale and impact of this strategic move within the telehealth marketplace.
The newly integrated services address critical gaps in healthcare delivery, particularly in underserved markets where specialist access remains limited. The Tele-Psychiatry services enable partner hospitals to deliver 24/7 emergency and acute psychiatric care through virtual platforms, addressing the nationwide shortage of mental health specialists that has become increasingly acute across hospital systems.
Tele-Neurology services represent another crucial component of the expanded offering. These services include on-demand stroke neurologists and other neuro-specialists who can provide rapid neurological consultations in emergency and acute care settings. This capability ensures patients receive timely expert care regardless of their geographic location, a particularly vital service given the time-sensitive nature of neurological emergencies.
The acquisition aligns with Equum Medical's mission to improve healthcare access and outcomes for hospitals and health systems across the country. By integrating established clinical services from VeeOne Health, the company accelerates its ability to deliver comprehensive telehealth solutions that address multiple specialty areas within acute care environments.
"The acquisition of VeeOne Health's services represents an exciting opportunity to continue expanding the reach and depth of Equum's acute care telehealth offerings. By adding these critical service lines, Equum further solidifies its position as a comprehensive partner to hospitals nationwide. We are committed to ensuring that our expanded services bring even greater value to our customers and improved outcomes for patients," said Dr. Corey Scurlock, CEO and Founder of Equum Medical.
The transaction positions Equum Medical to capitalize on growing demand for telehealth services within acute care settings. Healthcare systems continue seeking solutions that provide immediate access to specialist expertise while managing costs and improving patient outcomes. The expanded service portfolio enables Equum Medical to serve as a more comprehensive partner for hospitals requiring multiple specialty telehealth services.
The integration of VeeOne Health's clinical services strengthens Equum Medical's competitive position within the acute care telehealth market, providing enhanced capabilities across critical specialty areas where demand continues to outpace available specialist resources.
