Louisiana-based MedCentris Wound Healing Institute Expands Reach with Acquisition of Arizona Clinics
HAMMOND, LA., April 12, 2024 – MedCentris, a leading provider of innovative wound care
solutions headquartered in Louisiana, is thrilled to announce its acquisition of Avella
Wound Care, a prominent wound care company with two clinics located in Phoenix and
Mesa, Arizona.
This strategic move marks a significant milestone in MedCentris’s expansion efforts and
underscores its commitment to delivering top-tier wound care services to patients across
the nation. With this acquisition, MedCentris now offers wound care services in three
states: Louisiana, Mississippi, and now Arizona. This solidifies its position as a premier
provider of comprehensive wound care solutions, further enhancing its ability to meet the
evolving needs of patients and healthcare providers.
“We are excited to welcome Avella Wound Care into the MedCentris family,” said Dr.
Shaun Carpenter, CEO of MedCentris. “This acquisition aligns with our strategic vision of
expanding our footprint in key markets and enhancing our ability to deliver exceptional
care to those in need. We are confident that the integration of Avella Wound Care's
expertise and resources will further strengthen our ability to provide best-in-class wound
care services. We plan on delivering Wound Medicine to Phoenix and the surrounding
area.”
Avella Wound Care brings with it a wealth of experience, a sterling reputation in the field of
wound care, and a dedicated team of healthcare professionals. The acquisition will enable
MedCentris to leverage Avella Wound Care’s established presence in the Phoenix area,
providing greater access to high-quality wound care services for patients in the region.
“Our mission has always been to improve the lives of individuals suffering from chronic
wounds, and this acquisition represents a significant step forward in fulfilling that
mission,” said Annika Kariniemi, NP, Founder of Avella Wound Care. “By joining forces with
MedCentris, we can amplify our impact and reach even more patients in need of
specialized wound care treatments.”
As part of the acquisition, MedCentris plans to maintain the existing clinics in Phoenix and
Mesa, ensuring continuity of care for current patients while also exploring opportunities for
expansion and enhancement of services.
The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals and is
expected to be completed in the coming weeks.
