Centurion Anesthesia Completes Employee Stock Ownership Plan Transaction

June 2026 — The Bloom Organization (“Bloom”), a preeminent middle-market investment bank focused exclusively on founder-led and physician-owned businesses across the healthcare services and business services sectors, is pleased to announce that its client, Centurion Anesthesia (“Centurion”), has completed an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) transaction.

Founded in 2010 by Dr. Avishai Neuman, Centurion is a leading independent physician-owned anesthesia management organization providing services across more than 200 healthcare facilities throughout the Northeast. Through its network of physicians and certified registered nurse anesthetists, the company supports approximately 200,000 patient encounters annually and has built a reputation for clinical excellence, operational reliability, and long-standing provider relationships.

The ESOP transaction broadens employee ownership across the organization while preserving Centurion’s physician-led culture and positioning the company for continued long-term growth.

“Centurion’s success has always been driven by the exceptional physicians, CRNAs, and team members who care for our patients every day,” said Dr. Avishai Neuman, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Centurion Anesthesia. “As we evaluated the future of the company, it was important to identify a path that rewarded their contributions, preserved our culture, and positioned the organization for continued growth. The ESOP allows us to create meaningful ownership opportunities for our employees while maintaining the independence and clinical excellence that have defined Centurion from the beginning.”

The Bloom Organization served as financial advisor to Centurion Anesthesia in connection with the transaction. As one of the only investment banks that is also an ESOP itself, Bloom’s unique expertise in advising physician practices, combined with its firsthand experience utilizing the ESOP structure to maximize value for physician groups, has enabled Bloom to become the leading advisor in physician practice ESOPs.

The engagement was led by Henry Bloom, Steven Weiss, and Phil Russo.
