| NEW YORK, April 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Founded in 2012, New York City headquartered, Paragon Private Health (Paragon) helps create, implement and manage customized concierge medicine programs with private practice physicians to provide enhanced care for patients throughout the Unites States.
With a reputation for supporting its members through cutting-edge, high-touch services including telemedicine, Paragon is the only concierge medicine company named to the prestigious Inc. magazine list of the 5,000 fastest growing private companies in America in consecutive years – 2018 and 2019. “As Paragon grew rapidly over the past few years due to our unparalleled focus on patient-experience and technology, it attracted the attention of some of the largest players in concierge medicine. Like all successful companies, we reached a stage in our evolution to evaluate our options for bringing additional long-term value to our Physicians, their practices and patients. After thoughtful consideration, we determined the benefits of being part of a larger concierge network far outweighed all other options,” said Hiren Doshi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Paragon. As a result, Paragon Private Health has merged with Signature MD, Inc. (SignatureMD), one of the nation’s leading concierge medicine companies. The merger uniquely positions SignatureMD and Paragon to capitalize on the substantial sector growth opportunity while providing their affiliated physicians and members with best-in-class concierge medicine programs and an innovative service offering in areas like telehealth and remote monitoring. SignatureMD was founded by its current CEO, Matt Jacobson. Matt is one of concierge medicine’s thought-leaders and with the addition of the Paragon network of physicians, SignatureMD will expand to over 160 affiliated physicians across more than 30 states. “As I watched Paragon’s evolution, I was impressed by the company and its many accomplishments. The people they hired, the culture they built, their concierge programs; as well as their customer service, processes, innovations and engagement strategies, have all been first-class,” said Matt Jacobson. “The synergies between SignatureMD and Paragon could not be ignored. Thus, Hiren and I felt that by combining the two companies, our affiliated physicians, their practices and their members would benefit in many ways.” With a successful merger, Hiren Doshi will now focus on building and scaling digital health technologies including Paragon Telehealth, a company delivering telemedicine software solutions to healthcare providers. Intrepid Investment Bankers served as financial advisor to Paragon and CapM Advisors served as financial advisor to SignatureMD. Sherrard, German, & Kelly, P.C. served as Paragon’s legal counsel and McDermott Will & Emery served as SignatureMD’s legal counsel.
