SAN DIEGO, Aug. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- HCAP Partners, a California-based private equity firm and nationally recognized impact investor, announced its investment in Aarista LLC ("Aarista"), a leading tech-enabled healthcare services provider redefining outpatient care by bringing hospital-quality technology, skilled clinicians, and value-based care management into the post-acute world.

Aarista is dedicated to delivering superior healthcare services in a value-based care environment through its proprietary technology platform, the only Digital Health Platform in the market that uses real-time patient data from over 200 sources.

HCAP's capital will support Aarista's fast-growth, the adoption and enhancement of its technological development, and enable strategic acquisitions that strengthen Aarista's market presence and clinical impact.
