Acquired by Shore-Backed Community Care Partners in 2022, 40-Location Urgent Care Provider to Join HCA Healthcare’s CareNow Network
CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Shore Capital Partners (“Shore” or “Shore Capital”), a Chicago-based private equity firm with offices in Nashville, today announced its portfolio company Community Care Partners (“CCP”) completed the sale of Texas MedClinic (“TMC”) to HCA Healthcare. CCP provides support services to a network of urgent care, primary care, and occupational medicine clinics across multiple regions.
Texas MedClinic is a 40-location urgent care network serving communities in San Antonio, Austin, Houston, and East and Southeast Texas. CCP acquired Texas MedClinic in 2022 and partnered with physicians, providers and local leadership to expand from 20 to 40 clinics, while preserving its longstanding commitment to high-quality, patient-centered care delivery.
As part of HCA Healthcare’s CareNow network, Texas MedClinic will continue serving Texas communities with enhanced access through HCA Healthcare’s regional healthcare systems, including Methodist Healthcare in San Antonio and St. David’s HealthCare in Central Texas.
“Texas MedClinic and CCP partnered to build a leading urgent care network through a shared commitment to patients, providers, and sustainable growth,” said Ryan Kelley, Co-Founder and Partner at Shore Capital Partners. “As one of the nation’s most respected healthcare providers, HCA Healthcare’s decision to partner with Texas MedClinic reflects the strength of the team, culture, and care delivery. We are grateful to Texas MedClinic’s physicians and team members for their dedication, and believe HCA Healthcare will be an outstanding long-term partner for the organization.”
“From the beginning, our goal was never simply to grow Texas MedClinic—it was to strengthen an organization that had already earned the trust of Texas families over four decades,” said Jim Ashby, Chief Executive Officer of Community Care Partners. “That was only possible because of the physicians, providers, leaders and team members who care so deeply about their patients and communities. We are grateful for the opportunity to have been part of Texas MedClinic’s story and are excited to see the organization continue its legacy as part of HCA Healthcare’s CareNow network and its outstanding regional healthcare partners.”
Following the transaction, CCP will continue operating over 70 clinics across Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, Montana and Louisiana under the BestMed, SouthStar Urgent Care and Coastal Urgent Care brands. In addition to urgent care, primary care, and occupational medicine services, CCP clinics offer laboratory and radiology services, treatment of fractures and lacerations, immunizations, work-related injury services, physical therapy, and on-site prescriptions.
