“Drs. Muller, Hum and I are excited to have our business align with such an outstanding group,” said Ralph Baine, MD, co-owner of Acute Care Transitions. “Like us, they share a culture of innovation through virtual care, providing quality healthcare to patients and families, and have extensive experience providing care to patients in emergency departments.
