Providence, RI

Brentwood, TN, December 12, 2016– Odyssey Behavioral Healthcare (“Odyssey”), a portfolio company of Nautic Partners (“Nautic”), today announced it has completed the acquisition of Magnolia Creek Treatment Center for Women in Columbiana, Alabama.

Odyssey, headquartered in Brentwood, Tennessee, is building a diversified portfolio of subacute behavioral health facilities across the treatment spectrum. With the Magnolia Creek acquisition, Odyssey expands its behavioral treatment services by adding a specialized eating disorder provider that has in-network contracts with many of the largest payers in the region. Magnolia Creek adds to Odyssey’s existing treatment facilities acquired in 2015, Pasadena Villa Residential Centers (www.pasadenavilla.com) and Lifeskills South Florida (www.lifeskillssouthflorida.com).

“We are excited to add Magnolia Creek to our behavioral health treatment platform,” said Odyssey CEO Scott Kardenetz. “Magnolia Creek is a leader in eating disorder treatment, and its impressive campus offers our clients a serene and comforting environment in which to start their recovery. We plan to further resource the organization to enhance its mission to provide the very best care and treatment of eating disorders available in the southeast, and to expand the 24-bed facility and its affiliated partial hospitalization program to meet the needs of the community. This addition of Magnolia Creek to our portfolio of facilities expands our treatment services and geographic reach and advances our strategy to build a platform of the highest quality behavioral healthcare facilities”.
Nautic Partners Managing Director Chris Corey added, “We are thrilled to add Magnolia Creek to Odyssey. Scott Kardenetz and the management team at Odyssey have an outstanding track record of expanding access and advancing the mission and treatment services of behavioral healthcare facilities.
