Avel eCare, the nation’s leading provider of clinician-to-clinician telemedicine services, continues to expand its nationwide leadership in telemedicine with the acquisition of Horizon Virtual, a Minnesota-based virtual hospitalist services provider. The deal marks Avel’s 3rd acquisition in just over a year as the company continues its aggressive growth strategy into 2024..

Avel eCare是美国领先的临床医生到临床医生远程医疗服务提供商，通过收购位于明尼苏达州的虚拟医院服务提供商Horizon Virtual，继续扩大其在远程医疗领域的全国领先地位。该交易标志着Avel在一年多来的第三次收购，该公司将其积极的增长战略持续到2024年。。

“In line with our mission to ensure that communities and patients receive the highest level of care to drive improved outcomes, we continue to expand our presence across the U.S. and ability to impact markets through product innovation, organic growth, and strategic acquisitions. Acquiring Horizon Virtual represents an exciting opportunity to augment our hospitalist services, which remains one of our fastest-growing service lines,” said Doug Duskin, CEO at Avel eCare..

Avel eCare首席执行官道格·德斯金（Doug Duskin）表示：“根据我们确保社区和患者获得最高水平护理以推动改善结果的使命，我们继续扩大在美国的影响力，并通过产品创新、有机增长和战略收购来影响市场。收购Horizon Virtual是一个令人兴奋的机会，可以扩大我们的医院服务，这仍然是我们增长最快的服务线之一。”。。

“This is a great strategic fit for Horizon Virtual. After more than seven years of working with critical access hospitals and medical facilities in Minnesota to help address staffing challenges and provide the appropriate physician coverage in their hospitalist areas, we can now offer our customers solutions that address multiple areas within their hospitals while continuing to provide the same world-class virtual care.

“这是一个非常适合Horizon Virtual的战略选择。在与明尼苏达州的关键接入医院和医疗机构合作七年多，帮助解决人员配置挑战，并在其住院地区提供适当的医生服务后，我们现在可以为客户提供解决方案，解决其医院内的多个领域，同时继续提供相同的世界级虚拟护理。

It has been an honor and will continue to be my desire to serve our customers and help alleviate staffing shortages and physician burnout as it has enabled more patients to remain in their local communities near friends and family support,” says Darin Willardsen, CEO at Horizon Virtual..

Horizon Virtual首席执行官达林·维拉德森（DarinWillardsen）表示：“我很荣幸并将继续渴望为我们的客户服务，帮助缓解人员短缺和医生职业倦怠，因为它使更多的患者能够留在当地社区，靠近朋友和家人的支持。”。。

Duskin补充道：“我很高兴Severnak博士和Willardsen博士都能加入Avel团队。我相信他们将成为我们组织内有价值的合作伙伴，帮助我们实现目标并满足客户的需求。”。
