United Urology Group supports approximately 250 physicians and advanced practice providers across Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Maryland, and Tennessee.

“Our investment thesis -- across each of our healthcare investments -- is to back companies focused on improving access to care and patient outcomes, while reducing costs for payors and the healthcare system at large,” noted Adam Abramson, a partner at Audax Private Equity. “UUG fits this archetype categorically, and we expect its physician-led culture and patient-first approach to complement OneOncology’s community of oncologists, who share the same commitment to clinical excellence.”.

Audax Private Equity合伙人亚当·艾布拉姆森（AdamAbramson）指出：“我们的投资论题——在我们的每项医疗保健投资中——都是为了支持专注于改善医疗服务和患者结果的公司，同时降低支付者和整个医疗保健系统的成本。”。“UUG绝对符合这一原型，我们期望其以医生为主导的文化和患者至上的方法能够补充OneOncology的肿瘤学家社区，他们对临床卓越有着同样的承诺。”。

Audax first partnered with UUG in 2016, and has invested in the company’s continued organic and inorganic growth over the last eight years. UUG delivers a strong value proposition to physicians, patients, and payors through its integrated care model and robust ancillary offering, which enables better coordination across disease states and sites of care, while empowering physicians to maintain their independence..

Audax于2016年首次与UUG合作，并在过去八年中投资于该公司持续的有机和无机增长。UUG通过其综合护理模式和强大的辅助服务为医生、患者和付款人提供了强大的价值主张，从而能够更好地协调疾病状态和护理地点，同时使医生能够保持其独立性。。

UUG is focused on driving the transition of care from higher cost hospital settings to its connected ASC footprint, which improves the patient experience and quality of care, while reducing the total cost of care. Over the course of Audax’ partnership with UUG, the business has strategically expanded its footprint; invested in the company’s technology and supporting infrastructure; and expanded the breadth of its ancillary services..

UUG专注于推动护理从高成本医院环境过渡到其连接的ASC足迹，从而改善患者体验和护理质量，同时降低护理总成本。在Audax与UUG的合作过程中，该业务战略性地扩大了其足迹；投资于公司的技术和配套基础设施；并扩大了其辅助服务的广度。。

“Audax was aligned with our mission and vision to transform urology through continuous innovation and a model that enables access to high-quality value-based care and preserves the autonomy of our partner practices,” noted UUG Chief Executive Officer Ian Wong. “We’re excited to join forces with OneOncology, whose values and culture mirror our own.

UUG首席执行官Ian Wong指出：“Audax符合我们的使命和愿景，即通过不断创新和模式来改造泌尿科，从而能够获得高质量的基于价值的护理，并保持我们合作伙伴实践的自主性。”。“我们很高兴与OneOncology携手合作，OneOncology的价值观和文化反映了我们自己的价值观和文化。

We anticipate this combination will benefit both our physicians and their patients, while driving meaningful improvement to patient care.”.

我们预计这种组合将使我们的医生和他们的患者都受益，同时推动患者护理的有意义的改进。”。

“We want to thank Ian, the entire leadership team, and the committed physician base of UUG, whose partnership and commitment were integral to our shared success,” added Audax Managing Director Matthew Dewey. “We’re proud of the impact UUG has had in advancing urologic care and look forward to seeing the combined company amplify its impact across an expanding patient base.”.

Audax董事总经理马修·杜威（MatthewDewey）补充道：“我们要感谢伊恩（Ian）、整个领导团队以及UUG坚定的医生基础，他们的合作和承诺是我们共同成功的组成部分。”。“我们为UUG在推进泌尿外科护理方面所产生的影响感到骄傲，并期待着看到合并后的公司在不断扩大的患者基础上扩大其影响。”。
