"Augmenting scale and investing in technology are foundational to our operating strategy so we are very pleased to have completed this acquisition. We are also excited to welcome Dr. Michael Frankel and his entire team of medical professionals, as well as non-medical personnel, to the Well family. I am certain that with our collective capabilities we will deliver on Well's mission of positively impacting health outcomes by leveraging technology to empower and support patients and doctors."
