Oceans Healthcare, a growing provider of inpatient and outpatient behavioral health services, has acquired all outstanding shares of Haven Behavioral Healthcare, Inc., a Nashville-based provider of specialty behavioral health services. The transaction expands Oceans’ network into five new states with the addition of seven behavioral health hospitals and outpatient services with locations in Arizona, Idaho, Ohio, New Mexico and Pennsylvania.
“Our organizations share an almost 40-year legacy of high-quality care and commitment to our patients. Together we will be able to accomplish much more than we could independently,” said Oceans Healthcare CEO Stuart Archer. “Oceans has consistently sought opportunities that would expand our ability to provide access to care for at-risk populations in underserved communities. Haven has had a similar mission, and we are honored to welcome them to our Oceans family.”
