Pittsburgh, PA - Net Health Systems, the leading provider of clinical information systems for the rapidly growing field of wound care, announced today it has received a significant investment from Spectrum Equity, a leading private equity firm focused on the information economy.

Net Health CEO Anthony Sanzo commented, “Net Health is committed to delivering the best possible technology solutions for our clients. Net Health is well positioned to benefit from the growth in the number of hospitals which are building outpatient wound care facilities and the rapid adoption of technology and EHRs within wound care facilities. In addition to our excitement around the compelling growth opportunities in the wound care market, we believe we can leverage our products to address other closely adjacent settings where technology and EHR adoption are increasing. We look forward to working with Spectrum Equity to continue Net Health’s impressive growth trajectory.”

As the population ages and as obesity and diabetes continue to affect a large portion of Americans, chronic wounds are becoming more prevalent.
