Over the next three and a half years, Shore and management completed three add-on acquisitions and built three de novo pharmacies to become one of the largest privately-owned home infusion platforms in the country. Shore and management integrated these distinct and regionally diverse companies by standardizing operations with weekly and monthly metric management, a unified IT platform, and consolidated HR, corporate compliance, accounting and finance.

“We are pleased to have partnered with management to build SCP Specialty Infusion into one of the preeminent home infusion providers in the country,” said Justin Ishbia, Founder and Managing Partner of Shore Capital Partners. “Further, the successful execution of our value creation plan has allowed us to complete the sale of SCP Specialty Infusion on favorable terms for our investors.”

Shore’s operational oversight and financial support coupled with management’s industry expertise were highly complementary and helped facilitate the platform’s growth.”

The transaction closed on October 31, 2013. Terms of the transaction are not disclosed. Bass, Berry & Sims PLC provided legal counsel to SCP Specialty Infusion.
