Western Reserve Partners Advises Ethos Veterinary Health
December 18, 2018CLEVELAND, OH (December 18, 2018) – Western Reserve Partners, a division of Citizens Capital Markets, Inc., is pleased to announce that it served as the exclusive financial advisor to Ethos Veterinary Health, LLC (“Ethos” or the “Company”) in its recapitalization by Brown Brothers Harriman Capital Partners (“BBHCP”). Through the recapitalization, Ethos remains independently owned by its veterinarian professionals and, under the leadership of founding CEO Ames Prentiss, is well capitalized to further accelerate its acquisition-focused growth strategy.
Headquartered in Woburn, Massachusetts, Ethos is a leading provider of specialty veterinary health services with over 300 doctors of veterinary medicine throughout the United States. The Company’s unique integrated clinical model includes 21 specialty & emergency hospitals and a suite of complementary reference laboratory, compounding pharmacy and SaaS-based training services. The Company, formed in 2015 through the merger of four veterinary hospital systems, has since acquired six additional hospital systems and also earned a national reputation among veterinary professionals for providing exceptional quality-of-care, world-class professional development and a veterinarian-first culture. Through this minority equity recapitalization with Brown Brothers Harriman, Ethos has provided liquidity to its owners, gained a partner with significant experience scaling multi-unit healthcare businesses and positioned itself for future organic and acquisitive growth.
