Please see details about our exciting new partnership with Vytalize Health below!

NOMS Healthcare, a leading Ohio based multi-specialty physician group, is proud to announce a strategic joint venture with Vytalize Health. This partnership is designed to scale NOMS’ industry-leading multispecialty practice across Ohio while reinforcing its’ commitment to independent, physician-led medicine.

The joint venture will leverage NOMS' expertise in value-based care and physician practice management, with the goal of expanding operations and providing enhanced resources and bandwidth to support NOMS’ growth in Ohio.

NOMS Healthcare remains a fully independent and autonomous organization. Patients and staff will continue to experience continuity in healthcare delivery, and the organization will continue to operate on its proprietary, independent Epic platform. This partnership secures the long-term value of the NOMS model while preserving its mission of providing "excellent, personalized, team-based care."

To lead this expansion, NOMS Healthcare has announced the following executive leadership transitions, which will be effective around March 1, 2026:
• Josh Frederick, current CEO of NOMS Healthcare, will transition to the role of CEO of Vytal Health Partners. In this capacity, he will oversee the scaling of the partnership’s shared services, strategic integration, and creation of multi-specialty group affiliates.
• Rick Schneider, current Chief Strategic Officer, has been appointed President and CEO of NOMS Healthcare. Mr. Schneider will lead the organization’s continued clinical excellence and regional growth across its multi-specialty footprint.

"This venture has recapitalized our substantial investment in proprietary technology and affirms the significant value of the infrastructure and platform we have built, while protecting what we prize most—our people, our brand, and our mission," said Josh Frederick. "By partnering with Vytalize, we are strengthening our position in established and emerging markets throughout Ohio. This partnership ensures NOMS will remain the premier independent practice in Ohio."

“NOMS Healthcare has built an exceptional physician-led platform rooted in operational excellence and a deep commitment to independent medicine,” said Faris Ghawi, CEO of Vytalize Health. “This joint venture brings together shared values and complementary strengths, allowing us to scale proven infrastructure while empowering physicians to lead the future of value-based, community-centered care. We’re excited to double down alongside our most important partners to support their continued growth and long-term success.”

Rick Schneider adds “We are excited to continue our independent physician-led mission of providing excellent, personalized, team-based care to other communities in Ohio. The dynamics of healthcare continue to evolve, but our resolve has never been stronger in supporting local communities and partnering with those physicians and health centers as we navigate this evolution. This partnership allows us to do just that.”
