We looked to capitalize and realized that to continue growing successfully, we would need additional resources and expertise. We partnered with ECP in particular because they closely aligned with our strategy for growth, management and operational leadership. They also committed significant resources to help us achieve these goals.
As Progressive’s patient volume increased exponentially, we recognized we needed a partner who would allow for expansion without compromising our mission. ECP provided us with the capacity to grow and the ability to continue operating our business as an independent, physician-operated company lead by local leaders.
