“Advantia’s leadership and collaboration in the face of COVID-19 has been tremendous,” said RHJN Partner Dr. Heather L. Johnson in a statement, “from helping us secure PPE, to providing real-time updates on regulations and quickly helping us expand telehealth. I can’t imagine weathering this pandemic without their support.”

RHJN doctors will continue to perform surgeries and deliveries at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Northwest DC and the company’s clients have already gained access to Advantia’s offerings, including telemedicine appointments.

This acquisition comes after Advantia secured a $45 million investment from BlueMountain Capital Management and expanding its telemedicine offerings earlier this year. The healthcare provider is also working on opening a women’s health practice Liv by Advantia Health in the U Street NW area in 2021.
