PureHealth Expands U.S. Reach with Ardent Health Acquisitions

PureHealth Holding PJSC, the largest healthcare group in the Middle East, is leveraging its associate Ardent Health's acquisitions to expand its international presence. Ardent Health (NYSE: ARDT) has acquired 18 urgent care clinics from NextCare Urgent Care across New Mexico and Oklahoma, enhancing its U.S. operations. This acquisition aligns with PureHealth’s bolt-on strategy to boost growth and improve global healthcare accessibility. With clinics under prominent New Mexican and Oklahoman health systems, this move strengthens Ardent's ambulatory care capabilities. Furthermore, Ardent’s recent acquisitions in Texas and Kansas are part of its unfolding expansion strategy in mid-sized U.S. urban centers. PureHealth’s strategic initiatives are aimed at creating integrated global healthcare solutions and delivering value to stakeholders. Ardent Health's successful IPO in July 2024 and its reported $1.45 billion in revenue in Q3 2024 further highlight its growth trajectory and value-added contributions to PureHealth.
