BOSTON, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- SV Health Investors ("SV") is pleased to announce the acquisition of Nordic Consulting Partners ("Nordic") by Accrete Health Partners ("Accrete"), a strategic holding company of Bon Secours Mercy Health.

SV led the majority recapitalization of Nordic in October 2012, along with Health Enterprise Partners ("HEP"), HLM Venture Partners ("HLM"), and Kaiser Permanente Ventures ("KP Ventures").  In 2016, Silversmith Capital Partners ("Silversmith") led a minority recapitalization in which SV, HEP, HLM and KP Ventures remained Nordic shareholders.

Nordic's team of more than 1,900 professionals supports over 600 clients worldwide with innovative solutions, deep clinical expertise, and extensive technical knowledge.

SV and its co-investors understood from the outset of their investment in Nordic that excellence in client service begins with the recruitment of smart, passionate professionals, empowered by a supportive culture.  Nordic's many third-party awards for client service and workplace culture are testament to the success of Nordic's leadership team in realizing that vision.

SV Managing Partner Tom Flynn remarked: "the success of Nordic over the past decade reflects its unwavering commitment to both employees and clients.  We would like to thank CEO Jim Constanzo, CFO Glenn Cole and the rest of Nordic's outstanding leadership team for delivering on this vision."

SV Operating Partner and former Nordic Chairman Bruce Cerullo added "sustained excellence begins with committed and supportive shareholders.  With SV, HEP, HLM, KP Ventures and Silversmith, Nordic enjoyed consistent shareholder support."
