Fertility Specialists Network Welcomes Audubon Fertility to Enhanced Care Network

Expansion in Fertility Care

The Fertility Specialists Network (FSN) has announced a significant development in its mission to provide exceptional fertility care across the Southeast. With the recent addition of Audubon Fertility, located in New Orleans, FSN is poised to strengthen its presence in the Gulf South. Founded in 2011, Audubon Fertility has become a top-tier destination for patients seeking fertility treatments, recognized for its clinical expertise and commitment to patient-centered care.

LongueVue Capital (LVC), a private equity firm also based in New Orleans, leads this strategic alliance, marking the fourth partnership for FSN since LVC made its initial investment in the network back in 2021. The incorporation of Audubon Fertility reinforces FSN's goal of expanding its managed service partnerships with distinguished fertility practices, extending from Texas to Florida.

Foundation of Success

Dr. Lindsay Wells, the founder and medical director of Audubon, has played a pivotal role in establishing the clinic as one of the most successful fertility programs within the region. Under this new partnership, Dr. Wells will transition into the role of Chief Medical Officer for FSN, where she’s eager to apply her vision and expertise across the broader network.

“Since our inception, Audubon has been dedicated to providing families in the Gulf South with unparalleled patient care,” Dr. Wells stated. “In my new role as Chief Medical Officer, I am excited to integrate that same commitment into our extended network, influencing FSN’s clinical strategy moving forward.”

Strength in Partnership

Ryan Nagim, Managing Partner and Head of Healthcare at LongueVue Capital, highlighted the strategic fit of this partnership: “Dr. Wells and her team exemplify the qualities we seek in our FSN partners, such as stellar clinical performance and a robust organizational culture.” He expressed particular enthusiasm for expanding FSN's reach with a highly regarded practice right in LVC's hometown of New Orleans.

“Having Dr. Wells step into the role of Chief Medical Officer showcases our confidence in her leadership and commitment to driving FSN's growth,” he added.

This expansion is not just a win for FSN but also for patients throughout the Gulf Coast region, drawing individuals from areas such as Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. Ron Davidson, the CEO of Fertility Specialists Network, emphasized Audubon’s reputation, stating, “The clinic has consistently earned the trust of patients and healthcare providers alike through its dedication to high-quality care.” He expressed excitement about the opportunity to deepen their impact in the Gulf South alongside a clinic that shares FSN's core values.

A Vision for Growth

The addition of Audubon Fertility aligns perfectly with LVC's overarching strategy, which focuses on collaborating with entrepreneur-led, high-growth organizations to facilitate value creation. The partnership is expected to invigorate FSN’s initiatives aimed at enhancing patient care and expanding its service offerings across existing and new markets.

Overall, with over 150 years of combined experience in healthcare and investment, LongueVue Capital is dedicated to supporting middle-market companies throughout critical growth trajectories. The firm’s successful track record, along with its robust commitment to elevating partner organizations, makes it an ideal ally for FSN at this junction.
