Anthem-Epoch, Inc. Secures a $5 Million Investment to Develop Epoch Men’s Health Clinics Nationwide

Financing Strengthens Current Operations and Accelerates Company’s
Growth

DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Anthem-Epoch, Inc., parent company of Epoch Health (www.epochmenshealth.com),
a primary care clinic focused specifically on comprehensive men’s
health, has secured $5 million in new financing from Kayne NewRoad
Ventures Fund II, L.P., a growth fund co-managed by Kayne Anderson
Capital Advisors, L.P. and NewRoad Capital Partners, LLC.

Epoch Health currently has seven clinics staffed with physicians and
mid-level providers located across Arkansas, Missouri, Arizona and
Alaska delivering a convenient, male-friendly clinical environment with
a ‘no-appointment necessary’ / walk-in dynamic. Nearly 70% of Epoch
Health patients either do not have or rarely see a primary care
physician. Moreover, studies show that unless a male seeks a physician
for a chronic health issue before the age of 25, most men will not see a
doctor again until over the age of 50. Epoch Health, however, has
attracted the male patient population, who typically avoids proper
medical and/or preventative care, with a highly accessible culture and
‘patient-first’ focus on men’s health. Thus far, the Epoch Health model
has been a success with its male patient population as well as the
medical professional community, especially urology group practices.
Kayne NewRoad Ventures is partnering with Epoch Health to expand their
clinical model and impact more cities nationwide.

“We’re changing lives,” says Mike Whitfield, Founder and President of
Epoch Health. “We have hundreds of stories of men walking in our door
and our physician diagnosing an illness or a life-threatening disease
that could have led to serious harm, potentially death. We are
passionate about not only saving men’s lives through proper diagnosis
but also giving them the tools they need to engage in an active, healthy
lifestyle. The Epoch Health business model centers on preventive care by
educating men and their families about general wellness while matching
their symptoms with appropriate medical treatments, education and
lifestyle modifications that lead to a healthier, happier, improved
quality of life. This funding gives us the opportunity to take our brand
of awareness, testing and treatment to more communities nationwide.”

Steve Brooks, Partner at Kayne NewRoad Ventures Fund II, adds, “We are
excited to partner with the Epoch Health management team and to have the
opportunity to invest in a company that is making a positive impact on
lives. We are confident that this partnership will create a real
movement that introduces more men into the preventative healthcare
system.”
