Sequel Ortho and Fox Valley Orthopedics Forge a Strategic Alliance

In the latest development in orthopedic care, Fox Valley Orthopedics (FVO) has announced a strategic partnership with Sequel Ortho, aimed at significantly enhancing their service capabilities across the Midwest. With over 50 years of experience, FVO has been a cornerstone of orthopedic care in the region, and this collaboration represents a promising step forward.

Sequel Ortho, a management platform dedicated to supporting physician-led orthopedic practices, is set to provide FVO with the necessary resources to accelerate growth, improve patient access, and strengthen their commitment to delivering world-class orthopedic care. This partnership allows FVO to build on its legacy of excellence while tapping into strategic resources that will elevate their operations and care delivery systems.

As the partnership evolves, patients can anticipate enhanced access to unmatched care, improved technology-enabled experiences, and the launch of new initiatives to meet growing demands for musculoskeletal care.

The partnership is facilitated by Physician Growth Partners, which acted as the exclusive financial advisor to FVO, while Polsinelli provided legal counsel. Sequel Ortho was represented by Goodwin Procter.
