Albaron Partners Acquires RMA of Michigan
July 18, 2021
New York, NY, and Detroit, MI, July 18, 2021 – RMA of Michigan, a Michigan-based, regional leader in advanced fertility care, and Albaron Partners, LP (“Albaron”), a U.S. private equity firm focused on acquiring majority stakes of companies in the specialty healthcare services sector, today announced that RMA of Michigan has been acquired by affiliates of Albaron. RMA of Michigan will become part of Innovation Fertility, Albaron’s reproductive endocrinology platform. The financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Company founder and Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Brad Miller, has retained a minority ownership stake in RMA of Michigan.
Reproductive endocrinology is among the fastest-growing medical specialties in the country. Demand for advanced fertility care will continue to rise as couples are deciding to have children later in life and the prevalence of male infertility, driven by environmental and lifestyle factors, increases. Further trends favoring industry demand are a growing percentage of same-sex couples desiring children and an increasing number of employers offering benefits for IVF and genetic testing services.
“We welcome Dr. Brad Miller and the entire RMA of Michigan team to the Innovation Fertility family. The acquisition brings together two organizations with an unwavering commitment to patient experience and outcomes,” said Albaron Founder and Partner Alessio Baraldi. “The mission of RMA of Michigan has always been to provide personalized fertility care with the highest chances of success. We are thrilled to partner with Albaron and are excited about the operating capabilities and capital resources they provide to complement the strength of our exceptional clinical team,” said Dr. Miller. RMA of Michigan’s commitment to providing a first-class patient experience remains unchanged, and management expects that under the leadership of Innovation Fertility, they will have the flexibility and expertise to focus on what matters most – helping patients build their families.
