Peak Rock Capital is buying Paragon Healthcare in a deal expected to value the company between $250 million and $275 million, writes Sarah Pringle on PE Hub.

Paragon has more than 35 infusion centers (IVCs), specialty pharmacies and support offices nationwide. The company focuses on infusible and injectable pharmacy services in the alternate site settings.
