Momentum Health Partners

What Momentum Health Partners does

Momentum Health Partners is a Phoenix-based, operator-led private equity platform that invests in U.S. healthcare delivery companies across four core verticals: autism therapy (center and home-based ABA programs), developmental therapies (PT/OT/SLP and HCBS for IDD populations), behavioral health (outpatient mental health including IOP/PHP and substance-use treatment), and specialty ambulatory care (interventional pain management, ASCs, OBLs, and infusion centers). The firm was spun out of MCR Companies in March 2026 and pursues control or structured minority investments in founder-led, family-owned platforms with $5-100M in revenue and $1-10M in EBITDA, alongside add-on acquisitions above $1M in revenue, with a geographic emphasis on Western and Sunbelt markets. Its value-creation approach combines industry relationships across payors, providers, and regulators with operating playbooks spanning MSA negotiations, payor strategy, revenue cycle management rigor, and de-novo replication to densify regional markets.

The firm's first announced portfolio company is Advanced Autism Center for Treatment (AACT), an Arizona-based ABA provider operating across Arizona and Montana, acquired on March 19, 2026. The four-partner leadership team plus a finance and investment manager brings prior experience at Welltower, Tenet Healthcare, EY, and Cohen Financial, and the firm's parent backing by MCR Companies provides capital for platform and add-on deployment. As a newly launched sponsor, Momentum Health Partners does not disclose AUM, fund size, or management fees, and its go-to-market is relationship-driven direct outreach to founders and clinicians rather than traditional marketing channels.
