Krueger-Gilbert Health Physics Announces Expansion

TOWSON, Md., May 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Krueger-Gilbert Health Physics, LLC ("KGHP" or the "Company") is taking on a well-respected financial partner in Blue Sea Capital LLC ("Blue Sea"), which is providing growth capital for KGHP and Apex Physics Partners ("Apex"), a newly formed business services support organization created to facilitate continued growth of KGHP in its existing markets and to complete future partnerships with leading, like-minded medical physics practices in new geographies.

Founded in 1987 and headquartered in Towson, Maryland, Krueger-Gilbert Health Physics is a market-leading, full-service, comprehensive diagnostic medical and health physics consulting group. KGHP's client-focused team of physicists provides critical compliance services to some of the most progressive hospitals, imaging networks, private practices and research facilities nationwide.

"The formation of Apex Physics Partners opens opportunities in new geographic markets through partnerships with top-quality medical physics practices and individual medical physicists in their local markets," said Michael Curry, CEO of Apex Physics Partners. "Blue Sea Capital brings significant resources, a collaborative approach with management and expertise scaling the business services required by multi-state physics practices that will help Apex Physics Partners support the rapid expansion of our organization."

According to Keith Burns, President of Apex Physics Partners, "Apex will provide business services through the Apex Physics Support Group including client services, accounting/finance, sales, marketing, human resources, recruiting, information technology, data analytics, vendor management, purchasing, legal and insurance – all in support of medical physicists."

KGHP will continue to operate in the Mid-Atlantic region serving existing and new clients, with all existing team members maintaining their current roles. New medical physics partner practices will be marketed and positioned in their local geographies emphasizing the strengths that contributed to success to-date. In addition, the partnering medical physics practices will be positioned as Apex Physics Partners affiliates. "There are substantial differences between state regulations, and our medical physicists must be experts in the regulations and local client requirements. That's why we are big believers in the local geography model," said Michele Loscocco, MS, DABR, KGHP Director of Technical Operations.

J.R. Davis, Managing Partner at Blue Sea Capital, commented: "We are energized to partner with Mike, Keith and the talented physicists at Krueger-Gilbert Health Physics, as a leading diagnostic medical physics provider, to provide growth capital and resources in building a top-quality national platform in Apex Physics Partners. The organization's relentless commitment to client-service - manifested in growth, market share gains and a strong reputation with clients - resonated with us from day one. We look forward to building on this culture of excellence to support future growth in the Mid-Atlantic region and in other regions through partnering with other like-minded physicists committed to world-class client-service."
