Los Angeles, CA January 23, 2025 –( PR.com )– Triton Pacific Healthcare Partners, a Los Angeles-based private equity firm, is pleased to announce a partnership with Already Autism Health (AAH), a leading autism services provider.

Their expertise and strategic vision align perfectly with our goal of providing high-quality, evidence-based autism services.

A leading platform like Already Autism Health stands to not only benefit from sector tailwinds but also play a key role in propelling the sector forward. Derek and his team have built an outstanding organization, and we are excited to support their mission in making a positive impact for even more children and families.”
