MIAMI, FL / ACCESSWIRE / August 17, 2021 / Independent Living Systems (ILS), a privately owned Miami-based national health care services company, announced it has repurchased $120 million of the company's stock from Oak Investment Partners and other investors.

Connecticut-based Oak Investment Partners has been a primary investor in ILS since January 2012 and has played a significant role in providing the financial backing and advisory needed to advance the company to its next stage of growth.

"This repurchase reflects the confidence we have in our managed care and support services business lines, our overall financial position and ability to generate cash flow that supports our operational plans," said ILS Founder and CEO, Nestor Plana.

ILS will continue to expand its managed care business in Florida with their Medicaid Long Term Care Plus Plan and a new Medicare Special Needs Plan pending approval from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). ILS is also continuing to partner with home and community-based service providers to deliver services designed to improve social determinants of health (SDOH) including nutritious food, safe housing, and reliable transportation for at-risk populations. Focusing on SDOH is critically important to one's ability to live independently and age in place.

"Our mission from the beginning has been to make people's lives better by improving the quality of care for at-risk populations including seniors and those in underserved communities," added Plana.
