HEAL Partners invests in Higher Ground Education

HEAL Partners, a recently formed specialist Health and Education Growth Fund, today announced its investment into Higher Ground Education (“HGE”), a hyper-scaling, tech-enabled global Montessori-inspired education provider. HGE is the largest Montessori operator in the US with 69 U.S. locations across 14 states and with plans to expand to 300 schools across the country. It also has a rapidly developing footprint in China.

HEAL Partners successfully launched in August this year with four seed assets: Edge Early Learning Centers (Australia), Removery (tattoo removal, USA), Fertility Partners (IVF, Canada) and Halodoc (digital telehealth and pharmaceutical delivery, Indonesia). 

HEAL Partner, Martin Robinson, said the HGE investment aligns with HEAL’s philosophy of investing in HEAL sector assets that are high-growth, tech enabled and globally and regionally scalable. 

Mark Evans, HEAL Partner and founder of Edge Early Learning and Removery, will join the HGE Board. Mark said:

“HGE is aligned with HEAL’s proven partnership model which empowers and aligns clinicians, educators and professionals to deliver the best outcomes for their patients, students and customers.”

HEAL’s Investment and Advisory Committees have collectively created more than AUD$19bn of shareholder value in the HEAL sectors.
