Havencrest Capital Management has completed a majority recapitalization of OFFOR Health, a provider of office-based anesthesia services for complex pediatric dental procedures. The Dallas-based healthcare private equity firm is partnering with the company to support its next phase of growth and expand access to care.
Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, OFFOR Health delivers integrated clinical teams and equipment, including anesthesiologists, PACU nurses, and paramedics, directly into dental offices. The model is designed with hospital-grade safety redundancies and enables pediatric patients, including those enrolled in Medicaid, to receive timely care without long hospital wait times.
The investment underscores a broader opportunity to improve access to specialized pediatric dental procedures by shifting care into outpatient settings. Havencrest plans to help scale OFFOR’s platform to reach more communities across the United States.
Gary Schafer will continue to lead the company as CEO. Christopher Bowers will remain Chairman of the Board and support the company’s growth strategy. Bowers previously served as Executive Vice President of Markets at Centene Corporation and brings experience in managed care and Medicaid populations.
Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Bass, Berry & Sims PLC served as legal counsel to Havencrest. Ziegler advised OFFOR Health, and Cascadia Capital advised Havencrest.
