FRANKLIN, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Vivere Health, a national leading network of Fertility Centers of Excellence dedicated to the highest quality patient care and outcomes, has been named a finalist for the inaugural NEXT Awards in the category of healthcare. The Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce and the Entrepreneur Center will jointly present these awards to recognize the accomplishments of companies and individual entrepreneurs in five areas of business especially important to the Nashville economy: health care; technology; digital media and entertainment; sustainability and alternative energy; and social enterprise. Individual awards for successful youth, minority, female, startup and legacy entrepreneurs will also be given, in addition to an Entrepreneur of the Year award.
“Our thriving entrepreneurial community has contributed significantly to the economic prosperity of Middle Tennessee,” said Chamber President & CEO Ralph Schulz. “We are proud to be able to recognize the outstanding accomplishments of these businesses and individuals.”
“Recognition like this is so important for small business owners and their employees. The NEXT Awards can provide the exposure and motivation to propel these entrepreneurs to a new level of success,” said Michael Burcham, Entrepreneur Center president and CEO.
Vivere Health was founded in 2010 by former National Renal Alliance CEO Joe Cashia, and is a pioneering company in the growing field reproductive medicine. Vivere partners with specialists in Reproductive Endocrinology to develop Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) and IVF Laboratories, creating jointly-owned Fertility Centers of Excellence (CoEs). This unique joint venture model helps generate revenue to fuel the growth of partnering physician fertility practices, while allowing physicians to focus on patient care and oversee the entire fertility treatment cycle, improving quality outcomes for patients.
“Being recognized as a healthcare innovator in Nashville is a tremendous honor,” said Vivere Health CEO and founder Joe Cashia. “The entrepreneurial spirit of Nashville has certainly been a key element in the development and success of our young company. I am fortunate to have a great team of physicians and investing partners who believe in this model, and work tirelessly to grow our company and improve the lives of our patients.”
