“It was crucial for us to connect with a team that understood our customers, shared our values, and offered a foundation to grow within the industry. GGC was undoubtedly the right fit,” Tom Garden said.

Generation Growth plans to invest significantly in the business to drive growth. The company targets small businesses to collaboratively grow the companies or transition ownership.

This transaction took advantage of one of the many opportunities in the healthcare services market, said Cory Nettles, managing director at GGC.
