Combination Strengthens KabaFusion’s Position as the Premier Clinician-Led Home Infusion Company Across an Expanded Geographic Network
CERRITOS, Calif. – March 4, 2020 – KabaFusion, a leading provider of specialty acute and chronic home infusion therapies, today announced it has acquired the home infusion assets of Lincare, a subsidiary of Linde plc. The strategic combination strengthens KabaFusion’s position as the premier clinician-led home infusion company in the United States, significantly enhancing the company’s ability to deliver superior patient care across a broad range of home infusion therapies nationwide.
KabaFusion, led by founder Dr. Sohail Masood, has been a pioneering leader in patient-focused home infusion services with deep clinical expertise in intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapies. The addition of Lincare’s infusion operations expands KabaFusion’s footprint to 28 home infusion specialty pharmacies, adding key strategic markets in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Virginia and Wyoming. Together with KabaFusion’s existing pharmacies in California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Texas, the company is licensed to serve patients in 44 states with a comprehensive offering of acute, chronic and enteral therapies.
“We are excited to expand our national network with the infusion pharmacies from Lincare, who shares our values and our deep commitment to patient care” said Dr. Sohail Masood, founder and Chief Executive Officer of KabaFusion. “We look forward to combining the best of both our teams, as together we will be even better positioned to continue delivering high-quality home infusion services to achieve the best possible outcome for each of our patients.”
The transaction marks KabaFusion’s first acquisition since partnering with Pritzker Private Capital in January 2019. Ceron Rhee of Pritzker Private Capital commented,
“We are pleased to welcome Lincare’s infusion team to the KabaFusion and Pritzker Private Capital families. The combination of KabaFusion’s patient-focused leadership in IVIG with Lincare’s long-standing presence in complementary markets uniquely positions the company for continued exceptional growth under Dr. Masood’s leadership.”
