Mitch McBeth, CEO of El Paso Orthopaedic Surgery Group, commented on the sale of the facilities saying, “El Paso Orthopaedic Surgery Group recognizes that the practice of medicine is changing and we were seeking a capital partner to support our future growth and expansion efforts. As the El Paso community has grown, EPOSG invested in infrastructure including facilities and technology to deliver the highest quality healthcare to the Paso del Norte community. As the healthcare landscape has evolved, we considered many strategic options. The more we learned about John Thomas and the DOC team, the more we realized we had found a committed long-term real estate partner focused on enabling our team to continue delivering the highest quality healthcare. We are excited to partner with Physicians Realty Trust given their existing investments in the community and commitment to continue to invest in El Paso.”
