Humana acquires Solstenen i Skåne AB
The acquisition strengthens Humana's offering in LARO operations. Through the acquisition, Humana strengthens its range of services, helping more people with healthcare needs and thus expanding its social contribution.
Solstenen offers drug-assisted treatments for opioid addiction for patients who meet the criteria for LARO treatment. The company is one of Skåne's largest private LARO providers and consists of five outpatient clinics: Lund, Helsingborg, Landskrona, Ängelholm and Höör. Solstenen possesses high competence and is among the providers in Skåne who have the longest experience. The company operates within free healthcare choice in Skåne and through their solid, qualitative work, they have continuously increased the number of enrolled patients since the start of operations in 2014. During their last financial year, Solstenen’s full-year revenues amounted to SEK 46 million.
- We are very pleased that Solstenen AB, which is a leading provider in LARO operations, becomes part of Humana and that we get the opportunity to develop together. Solstenen conducts a business of high quality and with a high level of competence among employees. Together, we have the ambition to be a provider that is a driving force in the development of LARO as a form of care, says Titti Lilja, Business Area Manager Individual and Family at Humana.
Charlotte Gedeon, who is currently CEO and chief physician in charge of the clinics, will remain in the business, focusing on her physician role.
- We are really looking forward to becoming a part of Humana because our operations complement each other, and we have a common view on the way of working with the patient in focus. We see many exciting development opportunities for the joint operations that will benefit the patients, says Peter and Charlotte Gedeon, owners of Solstenen.
