NEW YORK (January 12, 2021) -- Solaris Health, a partnership formed by New York-based Integrated Medical Professionals (“IMP”) and Cincinnati-based The Urology Group (“TUG”), has joined forces with The Centers for Advanced Urology, LLP (“MidLantic Urology”), the leading urological services provider in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. The addition of MidLantic Urology to the Solaris Health platform positions Solaris as the nation’s leading independent provider of urological and other specialty services in the country. The partnership aligns the skills and talents of over 220 providers who have upwards of 850,000 patient encounters a year at more than 100 sites in New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and Indiana.
Deepak A. Kapoor, M.D., Chairman and Chief Ecosystem Officer, and Gary Kirsh, M.D., President of Solaris Health, founded Solaris with a shared vision to build the preeminent national urology practice in the country, providing the highest quality care. MidLantic Urology enthusiastically shares in this vision. By joining IMP and TUG, MidLantic Urology, led by its Executive Committee, Drs. Laurence Belkoff, David J. Ellis, Michael Hagg, and Brian Rosenthal, will play a major role in advancing Solaris.
“We are excited to partner with the high caliber team at MidLantic Urology,” said Drs. Kapoor and Kirsh. “The addition of MidLantic to the Solaris platform is a major step forward as we build a national urology practice of scale that can both elevate patient care and enhance the ability of urologists across the country to navigate the challenges of our evolving healthcare system.”
“MidLantic Urology is thrilled to partner with our highly regarded, long-term industry colleagues at IMP and TUG,” said Dr. Ellis, speaking on behalf of the MidLantic Executive Committee. “We share their vision of building the leading national urology network by providing physicians with state-of-the-art technology, clinical pathways, and unparalleled collaborative opportunities in order to deliver the highest quality care to our patients.”
