Innovate 32 Announces Partnership With Marion Dental Group

---

Innovate 32 (“Innovate” or the “company”), a growth-oriented dental services organization, is proud to announce its partnership with Marion Dental Group (“MDG”), a leading provider of dental services in Ocala, Florida, and The Villages, Florida.

Innovate 32 was formed by Shore Capital Partners (“Shore” or “Shore Capital”), a Chicago-based private equity firm with offices in Nashville that focuses on lower middle-market investing. Under the leadership of Josh Johnson, chief executive officer, and Innovate’s board of directors, the company is forming partnerships with premier dental practices throughout the South and Mid-Atlantic.

The partnership represents an exciting chapter in the journey of both companies, with a shared vision for continued growth, clinical excellence, and patient satisfaction.

Founded in 1978 by Dr. James Edwards, MDG provides a full suite of general dentistry and cosmetic services to patients in greater Central Florida. Since founding MDG, Dr. Edwards has expanded the practice to include three additional partners: Dr. Kevin Wallace, Dr. Thomas Bailey, and Dr. Joey Sorrentino, who have decades of clinical experience providing quality care to patients and growing to serve their community.

“We are excited to partner with Innovate 32 and join a growing company that shares our vision for premium patient care. We look forward to leveraging Innovate 32’s business expertise and resources to enhance our services and better serve our patients and community,” said Dr. Edwards.

The new partnership with MDG marks the next step in Innovate 32’s efforts to partner with growth-oriented dentists, share best practices, and deliver superior services. Innovate 32 now has a footprint in Florida and Tennessee and seeks to continue partnerships in those states.

“Partnering with Dr. Edwards, Dr. Wallace, Dr. Bailey, Dr. Sorrentino, and the Marion Dental Group team positions us to elevate the delivery of quality dental services to patients across Florida,” said Mr. Johnson. “Adding the experience of these partners and their team advances our mission to be the partner of choice across Florida, the Southeast, and beyond.”

Marion Dental Group was represented by Nate Thompson, founder and CEO of Triumphant Transition Partners.
