RF Investment Backs Leading Vital Care Franchisee to Expand Access for Critical Infusion Therapies

RF Investment Partners, a provider of flexible growth capital, is pleased to announce its majority investment in Valley Infusion, LLC and Home Infusion Richmond, LLC (together “Valley Vital”) — a leading franchisee within the Vital Care Infusion Services (“Vital Care”) franchise system. Operating infusion therapy pharmacies across four territories of Virginia and West Virginia, Valley Vital provides a wide range of infusion services to enable chronic and acute patients to receive the highest quality care in the comfort of their own homes or one of its infusion suites.

Vital Care, a leading franchisor of infusion therapy pharmacies, is dedicated to providing high-quality, safe, convenient, and cost-effective infusion therapy services for chronic and acute patients across all of its locations. Vital Care provides a range of infusion and injectable specialty therapies and has more than 160 infusion pharmacy locations across 35 states.

This partnership with Valley Vital will allow the company to invest in additional resources, further enhance patient care, offer new infusion therapies, and reach new geographical markets by opening new treatment locations following its recent expansion into West Virginia.

RF is partnering with existing management team members Preston Estep, Pharm.D., and Stefan Debski, Pharm.D., who will continue with the company as CEO and COO, respectively. The company has also enhanced the management team with the recent hiring of new team members, industry veterans Missy Coleman and Rafat Ansari.

“With RF's industry experience and aligned strategic vision, this partnership will allow us to expand our resources and range of treatments while reaching new patients — ultimately better serving patients, referring providers, and the communities where we are located,” said Valley Vital CEO Preston Estep.

For patients, this investment translates to improved access to critical infusion therapies, expansion of new treatment options, and the comfort of receiving care in their own homes or in an alternative treatment setting outside of the hospital.

"We are excited to partner with Vital Care, Preston, and the Valley Vital team to support the next stage of growth," said RF Managing Director Collin Abert. "Valley Vital prioritizes exceptional patient-centric care while delivering a compelling value proposition to referring physicians and payors, which aligns perfectly with RF's investment philosophy.”

With RF's partnership, Valley Vital aims to further solidify its market position and continue delivering exceptional care and infusion therapies to better serve patients and referring physicians. The company plans to accelerate its growth organically and through acquisitions of new territories and potentially other franchisees.
