This week we are thankful for our clients and are excited for the success they found this year through our work together. Today we're highlighting the successful partnership between?Harbin Clinic?and?Atrium Health Floyd: ? In a highly dynamic and competitive market, Harbin Clinic, the oldest and largest independent multi-specialty medical group in Georgia, engaged Warbird Healthcare Advisors to assess strategic partnership options for their physicians, patients, and stakeholders.

After a robust and competitive process, Harbin Clinic selected Atrium Health Floyd as their partner. Warbird played an instrumental role in negotiating the merger's terms, focusing on metrics such as purchase price, IT and capital investment, and forward-looking compensation.

"We are incredibly excited to see what the future holds as we celebrate this combination, which marks a new chapter for Harbin Clinic and what's possible for healthcare in our region," said?Kenna Stock, chief executive officer at Harbin Clinic.
