Premise Health, a worksite health and patient engagement company, has acquired IMWell Health.
IMWell, based in Fort Smith, Ark., specializes in primary care clinics for mid-size companies and municipalities, according to a news release. It currently operates at least 17 onsite and multi-site clinics that serve more than 65,000 employees and their family members.
The acquisition of IMWell marks one of the latest strategic moves for Premise Health, which aims to improve the cost and quality of employer healthcare.
Premise Health officials said the company has invested significantly in developing new employee health solutions since it was formed through the merger of CHS Health Services and Take Care Employer Solutions in 2014. The company provides personalized care to more than 200 of the nation's leading employers, including many of the Fortune 1000, through onsite health clinics.
With the addition of IMWell, Premise Health extends its expertise and services to clinics that serve and are located near multiple employers, including mid-size companies, school districts and municipalities, officials said.
"The addition of IMWell is a natural next step in our effort to expand our capabilities for serving the mid-sized employer and public employer markets," Stu Clark, CEO of Premise Health, said in a prepared statement. "IMWell's multi-employer, near-site model is an excellent platform from which to leverage our patient engagement and health improvement strategies to a broader market. We are excited to have the IMWell organization join the Premise Health family."
