Overland Park-based Aria Care Partners has acquired Sanford and its divisions to expand its services in the Southeast region market.

Aria acquired the Macon, Georgia-based Sanford Dental, Sanford Vision, and Dynamic Mobile Dentistry, which collectively provide dental and vision care to approximately 200 skilled nursing facilities (SNF) in Georgia and Alabama.

Sanford’s operations will be integrated into Aria’s for enhanced administrative and technology support. Sanford customers should expect minimal disruptions of service, while SNFs gain access to Aria’s optometry, audiology and podiatry offerings, according to a release.

“Sanford is an excellent fit with our program and brings a strong track record serving SNF communities in Georgia and Alabama,” CEO of Aria Care Partners, John Griscavage, said in the release. “We look forward to adding value for those communities and growing our position as a premier provider in the region.”

Sanford residents will also be able to enroll in Aria’s dental coverage and its vision and hearing plans.

Founded in 1999, Aria Car Partners provider of ancillary medical services for over 3,000 skilled nursing facilities. The company specializes in dental, vision, hearing, and podiatry care as well as offering insurance and care management services.
