CINCINNATI — Premier Infusion is the latest acquisition for CarePoint Partners, which now has 22 locations in nine states. Premier provides home infusion pharmacy services in Austin, Texas, and infusion pharmacy and related nursing services in the Atlanta area. The Austin location complements CarePoint's Dallas and Houston operations while its expansion into the Atlanta market continues to grow its southeastern footprint, according to the company.

The new acquisition, CarePoint's 12th since its formation in 2007, "advances our mission of maintaining a regional footprint while becoming a leading provider of customer-focused pharmacy and related health care services in both the home and alternate site environments," said Dana Soper, CEO. "What makes this a great fit is the fact that Premier excels at numerous IV therapies which are core CarePoint home infusion services."

Last month the company also added Infusion Technologies' offices in North Miami and Tampa, Fla.
