Merged with DaVita 2012
A model for coordinated healthcare delivery, HCP has grown to serve approximately 765,000 patients
Grew EBITDA more than 6x during Summit’s investment and expanded outside of California, adding platforms for growth and diversification

Founded and led by Dr. Robert Margolis, HealthCare Partners (HCP) is a leading integrated healthcare delivery system and is a role model for integrated and coordinated care, leading the transformation of the national healthcare delivery system to assure quality, access and affordable care for all. Although HCP was profitable, growing well and had a strong balance sheet, its physician owners sought an experienced healthcare investor to help them plan and execute a growth strategy.
How Summit helped:
Provided equity and helped raise institutional debt, assisting with the selection of an investment banker, rating agency process and marketing to investors
Worked with management on strategic growth initiatives, including a focus on acquisitions in additional geographic regions
Sourced several attractive acquisition opportunities, including two that closed and expanded HCP into three more states: JSA Medical Group, which added Florida and Nevada, and brought substantial value to HCP in subsequent years; and Arizona Integrated Physicians, which added Arizona
Assisted in initiating and developing a formal corporate development team to pursue a pipeline of acquisition targets
Served as an active advisor to the CEO and management team throughout the investment, including assisting in the evaluation of strategic exit opportunities
In 2012, DaVita and HCP completed a merger to acquire HCP for approximately $4.4 billion plus other incentive consideration, forming DaVita HealthCare Partners. HCP’s senior management team has continued to manage HCP as a subsidiary of the merged business.
