Not dated: These rows date a purchase to a YEAR. A year padded to January the first invents a precision nobody measured.

## Who They Are

Acentra was formed in 2023 from the merger of two large health-services businesses and is backed by a private equity firm. It publishes more detail than almost anything else here: around three thousand three hundred employees, including over eleven hundred credentialed clinicians across sixty-nine specialties. It reports a presence in all fifty states across thirty-two offices plus Chennai, forty-five state agencies and fifteen federal clients, and more than a hundred and forty million beneficiaries served.

It bought Espyr for portfolio completeness rather than for technology, saying the combination gives clients a comprehensive set of employee assistance solutions. A seller in this lane should expect the conversation to be about contract vehicles, clinician credentialing and whether the book fits a government client base, which is a different diligence from anything a software buyer runs.

## The Exits They Bought

Each row is a company a searcher built, with the year of the exit and the sources that establish both halves: the buyer's own announcement, and the record showing the company was searcher-owned.

### Espyr (2024)

Rick Taweel acquired EAP Consultants, trading as Espyr, a workplace mental-health and employee-assistance business, with Pacific Lake behind him, and ran it as chief executive for about a decade. Acentra bought it in January 2024 to add commercial employee assistance to a book weighted toward state and federal health agencies.
