"The company's unique and scalable business model is ideally suited for the high-growth genetic testing industry," stated Jason Drattell, Praesidian Founder. "This acquisition provides an exciting foundation for Praesidian's independent sponsor platform."

Glenn Harrison, Praesidian Capital Partner said: "Genetic testing is now an integral part of patient care. We have some of the best clinicians in the industry and are eager to expand the company's service offerings and footprint while continuing to provide industry leading care."
