Integration Health Acquires ECMO Advantage to Enhance ECMO Services

In a significant move to broaden the reach of life-saving medical services, Integration Health announced the acquisition of ECMO Advantage, a renowned provider of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) services. This strategic decision, revealed on September 18, 2025, positions Integration Health as a leader in providing comprehensive ECMO, perfusion, and transplant support across the United States.

A Unified Approach to ECMO

The incorporation of ECMO Advantage into Integration Health signifies more than just a merger; it's the combination of two industry giants. With this union, Integration Health aims to harness the combined expertise and resources of both organizations to enhance patient care. Under the Integration Health brand, the newly unified entity promises to deliver premier ECMO training, program development, staffing, and essential clinical services.

John Martin, CEO of Integration Health, emphasized the importance of expanding access to ECMO services, stating, "As ECMO and perfusion therapies continue to demonstrate their life-saving potential across an ever-growing range of clinical scenarios, we're focused on expanding access to these critical services. By combining our efforts with ECMO Advantage's established expertise, we can bring ECMO care to more hospitals, educate more healthcare providers, and ultimately save more lives."

Seamless Integration of Services

The acquisition ensures that ECMO Advantage will seamlessly integrate its operations within Integration Health. This results in the continuation of all existing services, personnel, and hospital contracts under a single, reputable entity. The newly merged organization will cater to over 55 healthcare facilities across 22 states, significantly improving the delivery and availability of ECMO-related services.

Integration Health’s service offerings have expanded post-acquisition to include:

• - Specialized Clinical Staffing: Access to expert ECMO specialists and perfusionists for both short-term and long-term availability.
• - ECMO Program Development: Comprehensive support for establishing ECMO programs, including the development of policies, procedures, training, and financial optimization.
• - Education and Training: A variety of online courses, in-person simulations, bedside precepting, and continuing education opportunities for healthcare professionals.
• - ECMO Transport Services: Efficient air and ground transport capabilities overseen by specialized physicians.
• - Perfusion and Normothermic Regional Perfusion Services: Enhanced support for transplant centers and organ procurement organizations.

Looking Ahead: Industry Growth and Expansion

Integration Health will be showcasing its expanded services and capabilities at the upcoming 36th Annual ELSO Conference in Washington, DC, scheduled for September 27-30, 2025. This will be the first appearance of the unified Integration Health brand, where members from both ECMO Advantage and former Innovative ECMO Concepts will collaborate to present the comprehensive range of services available to healthcare partners.

The acquisition positions Integration Health strategically for continued growth in a sector that's becoming increasingly vital due to the rising demand for ECMO services. As the recognition of ECMO's clinical benefits grows, so does the need for institutions to ensure they can provide these life-saving therapies without staffing shortages. Integration Health’s commitment to maintaining a robust pool of specialists ensures that hospitals can confidently offer ECMO therapy within 24 hours of patient cannulation, regardless of their internal staffing capabilities.
