GTCR, a leading private equity firm, announced that it has closed the acquisition of Cloudbreak Health (“Cloudbreak” or “the Company”), a leading provider of tech-enabled, healthcare-focused language interpretation services, in a corporate carve-out transaction from UpHealth, Inc.
Headquartered in Columbus, OH, Cloudbreak is a leading video-focused language interpretation service provider that helps patients with limited English proficiency, as well as deaf and hard-of-hearing populations, communicate with caregivers in healthcare settings.

Cloudbreak serves clinicians and patients across all types of healthcare settings, including hospitals, urgent care centers, standalone clinics and medical practices, and helps improve health equity across an underserved U.S. patient population.
Mark Anderson, Managing Director and Head of Technology, Media & Telecommunications at GTCR, stated: “Cloudbreak has a longstanding reputation as a high-quality provider of interpretative telehealth services supporting an underserved patient population that we are excited to advance together.
