CARE Fertility, based in London, England, announced on December 13 that it acquired REACH Fertility.

The Reproductive Endocrinology Associates of Charlotte (REACH Fertility) has been a leader in treating patients with fertility issues in Charlotte, North Carolina since 1988. It is run by 12 fertility physicians. 

CARE Fertility is one of the largest independent providers of fertility treatments in the world with 28 practices across the United Kingdom, Ireland and Spain. Nordic Capital purchased CARE Fertility in March 2022.

This acquisition is CARE’s first partnership in the United States and its first under Nordic Capital’s ownership. The financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.  

According to the LevinPro HC database, this acquisition represents the 566th Physician Medical Groups transaction of the year, 29 of them in the fertility specialty. Compared to the previous year (January 1, 2021, through December 13, 2021) when ten deals were announced, this is a substantial increase in fertility transactions.
