CAN Community Health is pleased to announce the acquisition of Infections Managed, Inc., a leading infectious disease practice founded by Dr. Stephen Renae in Fort Lauderdale. As part of a strategic initiative to expand high-quality, patient-centered care in South Florida, the organization is proud to announce its acquisition to enhance the delivery of comprehensive infectious disease care in the South Florida region.
“We are honored to welcome Dr. Stephen Renae, Hannah Silverman, and the Infections Managed team to CAN Community Health. Their reputation for clinical excellence and compassionate care aligns with our mission of empowering wellness, said Rishi Patel, PharmD, MBA, President and Chief Executive Officer at CAN Community Health. “This acquisition strengthens our ability to deliver high-quality infectious disease care to the Fort Lauderdale community and beyond.”
Established in November 2010, Infections Managed has provided advanced and compassionate care for a wide range of infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C, STIs, and more. Dr. Renae, who has been practicing in Florida since 1993, envisioned an independent medical practice that utilized the latest technologies to create a patient-centered experience. His holistic approach addresses each patient’s mind, body, emotion, and spirit.
CAN Community Health, a nonprofit organization with a mission to empower wellness with individuals living with HIV, Hepatitis C, and STIs, operates numerous clinics and pharmacies nationwide, including Midland Medical in Oakland Park, and another clinic in Fort Lauderdale’s Poinciana Park neighborhood, in Broward County.
“This partnership marks a meaningful step in expanding our footprint in South Florida. By joining forces with Dr. Renae, we are adding exceptional medical expertise to our network and reinforcing our commitment to providing accessible, patient-centered care, said Marlon Pittman, Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer at CAN Community Health. “We look forward to building on the strong foundation that Infections Managed has established over the past fifteen years.”
Patients of Infections Managed can expect a seamless transition, which will provide continued access to the same high-quality care and services they have come to rely on. The collaboration will also introduce additional resources and programs to improve patient outcomes and well-being.
“Joining forces with CAN Community Health allows us to continue our commitment to excellence in patient care while benefiting from the resources and support of a nationally recognized organization,” said Dr. Stephen Renae, President of Infections Managed. Together, we will enhance our services and reach more individuals in need.”
The clinic will continue operations at 3012 E. Commercial Blvd, Ft Lauderdale, FL 33308. New and existing patients can contact the clinic at (954) 776-9992 to connect to care or visit www.cancommunityhealth.org.
