EMA Buys Majority Interest in Language Access Network
(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
Emergent Medical Associates (EMA) announced that it has finalized the
purchase of a majority interest in Language Access Network.
LAN provides on-demand language interpretation services through video
and audio conferencing in hospitals and other health care venues
nationwide directly addressing the challenges facing these institutions
and their Limited English Proficient and deaf or hard of hearing
patient populations. LAN will continue to be managed as an independent
entity.
"We are very excited to have closed our acquisition of the Language
Access Network," said James Edwards, CEO of Emergent Medical
Associates. "The Language Access Network service offering is best in
class and provides one of the only true high-quality, fully compliant
and cost effective interpretation alternatives in the marketplace. It's
a win-win-win product for the hospital, patient and provider. We are
very excited to have the opportunity to secure LAN's future and enable
the Company to reach its potential."
According to a release, EMA's acquisition of LAN puts the resources of
one of California's emergency medical group's behind the Company as
well as the Group's expertise in developing products tailored to the
demands of health care environments.
"We could not have found a better or more committed partner than EMA,"
said Andrew Panos, COO, of Language Access Network. "EMA is owned by
physicians, not financial investors. Their primary focus is improving
patient care. Their understanding of our vision, our dedication to
customers and patients as well as our desire to be instrumental in
transforming this industry has positioned LAN to continue providing our
service to the leading medical institutions in the country and build on
our tradition of excellence," added Panos.
EMA is a provider of physician staffing & practice management services
for 15 Emergency Departments with an annual census of over 400,000
visits throughout California.
