(Irvine, California – Businesswire) – Akeso Medical Holdings today announced it has completed its acquisition of Wine Country Occupational Medicine of Napa Valley, as they continue to expand their group of occupational medical clinics, with this clinic being first in the Northern California market.
By collaborating with the highest-performing occupational health physicians to expand their practices and focusing solely on efficiency and better patient outcomes, Akeso offers payors and employers a real market alternative at a time when the occupational medicine sector is poised for growth.
“Akeso is on a mission to provide a high-quality alternative for occupational medicine that covers the state of California.” said Greg Moore, CEO of Akeso Medical Holdings. “Wine Country Occupational Medicine is a unique opportunity that allows us to expand into an underserved community and partner with a strong practice committed to supporting that community.

Clinic Medical Director Carl Speizer, MD, MPH, founded the clinic in 2014 in order to focus on occupational medicine and employee wellness. He noted “as I learned about Akeso’s dedication to quality care, customer service, and systems that make clinics more efficient, I believe that joining with them matches my original goals and significantly enhances our services. We will continue to provide services to Napa, Sonoma, and beyond, but with expanded capacity and support.”
Dr. Speizer, who will continue to serve as the clinic’s medical director, previously practiced acute-care medicine in an emergency setting for 25 years and then served as the former Medical Director of both Work Health, an occupational health clinic and the employee health program at Queen of the Valley Medical Center in Napa, California.
