CHICAGO, April 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- BPOC, a healthcare focused private equity firm, is pleased to announce its partnership with Dr. Thomas Bat to form Southeast Primary Care Partners, LLC ("SPCP"), a new regionally-focused primary care management services organization ("MSO"). SPCP and its affiliated practices are focused on partnering with independent primary care providers to expand access to high-quality care and to improve the health of the communities they serve.

As part of its growth strategy, SPCP will expand its affiliated practice footprint through acquisitions and de novos. "We are thrilled to partner with Dr. Bat and such a well-respected, independent practice in a market poised for growth," said Peter Magas, Partner at BPOC. "We believe primary care is the fulcrum for care delivery and NAPC is a model practice for quality care."
