GTCR Completes Acquisition of Cloudbreak Health


Investment to Accelerate Cloudbreak's Investments in Product Development and Technology

CHICAGO, March 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- GTCR, a leading private equity firm, announced today that it has closed the acquisition of Cloudbreak Health ("Cloudbreak" or "the Company"), a leading provider of tech-enabled, healthcare-focused language interpretation services, in a corporate carve-out transaction from UpHealth, Inc.

Headquartered in Columbus, OH, Cloudbreak is a leading video-focused language interpretation service provider that helps patients with limited English proficiency, as well as deaf and hard-of-hearing populations, communicate with caregivers in healthcare settings. The Company's core offering is Marttitm (My Accessible Real-Time Trusted Interpreter), a HIPAA-compliant Video Remote Interpretation ("VRI") solution that connects patients with interpreters in over 250 languages across its network interpreters on five continents. Cloudbreak serves clinicians and patients across all types of healthcare settings, including hospitals, urgent care centers, standalone clinics and medical practices, and helps improve health equity across an underserved U.S. patient population.

Mark Anderson, Managing Director and Head of Technology, Media & Telecommunications at GTCR, stated: "Cloudbreak has a longstanding reputation as a high-quality provider of interpretative telehealth services supporting an underserved patient population that we are excited to advance together. GTCR has a proven track record of healthcare technology investment and transformation, and we look forward to working with Andy and Cloudbreak's talented team to enhance investments in the company's technology and service offerings."    

"I have developed a close relationship with GTCR over the past few years, and I am confident that the firm's experience in healthcare technology will add significant value to Cloudbreak as an independent company and further enhance our unique value proposition to our clients," said Andy Panos, Co-Founder and President of Cloudbreak.

"GTCR's investment in Cloudbreak will enhance the company's offering while remaining true to its critical mission of democratizing healthcare. We are thrilled to work with Andy and the team to build on Cloudbreak's market-leading position in healthcare interpretation," added Geoffrey Tresley, Principal at GTCR.
