Nobilis Health

What Nobilis Health does

Nobilis Health Corp was a Houston- and Dallas-based healthcare management company that developed, owned, and partnered with ambulatory surgery centers, hospitals, and physician practices to deliver minimally invasive elective procedures. Its service portfolio spanned three primary clinical verticals: spine surgery through the Legent Spine partnership, bariatric procedures (gastric bypass, gastric band, gastric sleeve, gastric balloon) via Evolve Weight Loss Experts, and the Omega migraine procedure in collaboration with Migraine Treatment Centers of America. The company also extended elective vascular services after acquiring Arizona Vein & Vascular Center in 2016.

The business model combined facility management fees, comprehensive marketing services for partner physicians, and revenue from clinical procedures performed across its network of more than 60 care centers in six states. A proprietary direct-to-consumer marketing platform generated and converted patient leads, with Nobilis serving as both an operator of surgical assets and a marketing engine that funneled traveling patients from across the United States to its facilities. The go-to-market emphasized speed and clarity of patient acquisition versus conventional healthcare referral pathways.

Nobilis pursued growth through serial acquisitions (DeRosa Medical in 2017, an ambulatory surgery center in 2016, Arizona Vein & Vascular Center in 2016) and a $25 million GE Capital financing in April 2015. Despite a multi-state footprint and distinctive DTC marketing capabilities, the entity ultimately filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and is no longer operating. Former NYSE listing under ticker HLTH has been delisted; the brand and physician partnerships referenced on the current website reflect residual legacy assets rather than active operations.
