COLUMBIA, S.C.--Oasis Health Partners® ("Oasis"), a value-based care enablement organization, has announced its acquisition of Premier Health ("Premier"), a healthcare administrative services organization specializing in revenue cycle management and practice operations. This strategic move is aimed at advancing Oasis’s goal of modernizing primary care by integrating clinical, operational, and financial infrastructure into one comprehensive platform.
Strengthening Independent Primary Care
Independent primary care practices across the U.S. are increasingly struggling to navigate administrative complexities, rising costs, and the shift to value-based care models. Oasis seeks to address these challenges with a scalable platform that supports independent physicians by providing them with the necessary tools and infrastructure to thrive while maintaining their autonomy.
"Independent primary care is the foundation of our healthcare system, but too many physicians are being forced to choose between independence and sustainability", said Kari Snaza, Chief Executive Officer of Oasis. "Our goal is to change that. By bringing together value-based care infrastructure and practice management services, we are creating a comprehensive model where providers can remain independent while accessing everything they need to succeed."

Combining Strengths With Premier Health
Through this acquisition, Oasis plans to enhance its ability to offer a turnkey platform for primary care practices. This includes services such as value-based care contracting, advanced analytics, clinical support, revenue cycle management, EMR modernization, group purchasing, and operational services. The integration of these capabilities is designed to ease administrative burdens, improve performance in value-based care, and ultimately enhance patient outcomes.
Robert Downing, Chief Financial Officer of Oasis and former CEO of Premier, shared his enthusiasm for the partnership, saying, "We’re proud to join Oasis at such an exciting time. By combining Premier’s operational expertise with Oasis’s value-based care platform, we are creating a differentiated offering that supports practices today while positioning them for long-term growth in value-based care."
A Scalable Model for Long-Term Success
Oasis’s model is built to scale through long-term partnerships with independent practices, granting them access to resources traditionally reserved for large health systems while ensuring they retain their independence. This approach reflects Oasis’s commitment to becoming the leading platform for independent primary care nationwide.
This acquisition also builds on Oasis’s recent expansion into North Carolina through PreferCare, signaling a continued focus on growth and innovation in the primary care sector. Together, Oasis Health Partners® and Premier Health aim to redefine primary care by creating a model that blends physician autonomy with the infrastructure necessary for success in a value-based care environment.
