CHICAGO – November 14, 2013 – Dresner Partners, a leading FINRA-registered, middle-market investment bank and IMAP member firm, announced today that it advised Novia CareClinics, LLC in its sale to QuadMed, LLC, a subsidiary of Quad/Graphics, Inc.

“This transaction will strengthen both our companies’ leadership positions in the healthcare markets we serve and enable us to offer the best of our respective models to a wider range of employers,” said Eric Olson, President of Novia CareClinics, who will continue with the combined company as a member of the senior leadership team.  “We built our businesses independent of any competing interests, and combining our two companies will make an even more meaningful difference in today’s complex healthcare landscape.”

“Novia CareClinics was a pleasure to work with on this transaction,” said Mitchell Stern, Managing Director and Head of the Healthcare Group at Dresner Partners.  “The company’s innovations in employer-sponsored healthcare management solutions and its on-site primary care for small to mid-size companies made it an attractive target for QuadMed.”
