Avante Health Solutions welcomes a new addition to the Avante family of companies

We are pleased to announce that Equipment Maintenance Solutions ("EMS") will be joining the Avante family. Founded in 2008 in Ferndale, Mich., EMS is an authority in MRI and CT service, sales, parts, and rentals.

Steve Inacker, President of Avante, said EMS further strengthens Avante’s overall reach and capabilities.

"We are focused on strategic consolidation in a fragmented industry," Inacker said. "EMS is a perfect addition to our teams in terms of their culture and commitment to quality products and services."

Seth Davis, President of EMS, is excited about the opportunities the new partnership will create.

"We share a common vision for superior client service, a team-oriented and supportive culture for our employees, and growth in a changing healthcare environment," Davis said. "We think our clients will be very eager to access the many service and product solutions that the Avante family of companies provide."

The EMS service portfolio is primarily in the midwestern United States, but EMS is also a national provider of service, parts, and equipment rentals. EMS is an ISO-certified company that provides best-in-class service, equipment, and parts to a variety of major health systems, hospitals, physician groups, and other providers.
