A Maryland-based behavioral health company has purchased a local psychiatry practice, further expanding its Richmond-area presence shortly after opening its first local office.<\/p>\n

Bloom Health Centers recently announced the acquisition of Insight Physicians and its two offices in western Henrico and North Chesterfield. The deal brings Bloom to a local footprint of three offices, which was established with an outpost that opened last year on HCA\u2019s Parham Doctors\u2019 Hospital campus.<\/p>\n

Bloom provides mostly outpatient therapy and counseling as well as treatment for conditions like OCD and depression, while Insight is geared more toward treatment in inpatient hospital settings.<\/p>\n

Bloom CEO Neel Nene said he came to know Ben Wiseman, a partner at Insight, and thought the offerings of the two practices, which both operate in other medical providers\u2019 facilities in addition to their own offices, would complement each other if brought together.<\/p>\n

\u201cBen was a really good partner to us. He worked for Bloom as an independent contractor while being a part of Insight and he saw what we\u2019re doing at HCA is working well. Insight has these relationships with Bon Secours as well as (mental health centers operator) Summit, and they\u2019re primarily an inpatient business,\u201d Nene said. \u201cMy thesis is everything should be in house, under one roof.\u201d<\/p>\n

Insight\u2019s operations are being rebranded to Bloom as part of the acquisition. The Insight offices at 2810 N. Parham Road and 804 Moorefield Park Drive are expected to continue to operate following the deal.<\/p>\n

The sellers in the deal were Insight partners Drs. Zaffar Ali, Phillip Marshall and Wiseman. All three are staying on with Bloom. Terms of the deal, which was announced in early July, weren\u2019t disclosed. Insight was founded in 1984 and was originally called Buxton, Corcoran & Sellman.<\/p>\n

Nene considered the Insight deal to be Bloom\u2019s first notable acquisition, coming after a 2022 deal in which Bloom bought the business of a provider who was winding down her practice.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat really was just a person who was retiring and wanted to give us her patients,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Bloom has 325 staff following the Insight acquisition and nearly 30 outpatient centers in Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and D.C., and also staffs inpatient facilities. Bloom will maintain its original Richmond-area office at 7702 N. Parham Road.<\/p>\n
