AMERITA ACQUIRES SAFFA INFUSION IN TULSA, OK
Acquisition expands Amerita into its sixth state
Irvine, California, July 20, 2010 – Amerita, Inc. announced today that it has acquired Saffa Infusion Pharmacy located at 6666 South Sheridan Road, Suite 100, Tulsa, OK 74133. The purchase further advances Amerita’s plan to become the premier specialty infusion service provider in America.
“Saffa Infusion has been a strong local provider in Tulsa since 1986 and has an excellent clinical and service reputation. I am personally excited to see our two organizations join forces as we share similar philosophies regarding patient care and customer service,” said Jim Glynn, Amerita’s CEO. “We see the Tulsa market as an important entry into Oklahoma that will extend our service area north of Texas and into the Plains States.” With this purchase, Amerita now has 12 locations across the United States and moves closer to connecting its strong Texas footprint with its branch locations in Colorado, Utah and Tennessee.
The founder of Saffa Infusion, George Saffa, said, “I am looking toward the future with a strong national partner here in Tulsa and to expanding the care we have practiced here state wide. Amerita is a thoughtful and caring company with a common purpose: Grow the company with the best employees available, offer unmatched infusion services and dedicate ourselves to those we treat, in the communities we serve.”
Amerita, Inc. www.ameritaiv.com is a privately held Specialty Infusion company focused on providing complex pharmaceutical products and clinical services to patients outside of the hospital. This market is expanding through a growing bio-pharmaceutical pipeline of infuseable and injectable medications, an aging population that requires additional healthcare services and the country’s need to find more affordable care alternatives.
