Plymouth Meeting, PA, 5/20/25 – ProgenyHealth, LLC, a recognized national leader in maternity and NICU care management, today announced that the company has received a significant growth investment from its existing investor, Sunstone Partners, and Cressey & Company (“Cressey”), a private investment firm focused on building leading healthcare services and information technology businesses. Cressey’s investment and added resources will support the continued expansion of ProgenyHealth’s services to reach more patients and improve the trajectory of maternal and infant health across the country.
Sunstone Partners, a growth-oriented private equity firm, invested in Progeny in 2017. Since the investment, ProgenyHealth has organically quadrupled its business, bolstered its service offerings, and managed 140,000 NICU births. Sunstone Partners remains a significant investor in the Company together with Cressey and the ProgenyHealth management team.
“At ProgenyHealth, we take pride in being on the front lines of maternity and NICU care management, providing essential support and contributing to improved results for moms and babies,” said ProgenyHealth Chief Executive Officer, Susan Torroella. “We are extremely proud for Cressey & Company to join us and for Sunstone Partners to continue to support us in our mission to improve outcomes through personalized care management, parental engagement, and provider collaboration. Cressey’s trust and investment is a testament to our business model and our continued commitment to better maternal and infant health.”
Founded in 2003 by Ellen Stang, MD, ProgenyHealth has steadily grown into a nationally recognized leader in women’s health. By partnering with health plans, physicians and families, the company measurably improves clinical outcomes, enhances member and provider experience, and lowers the total cost of care. The company’s strong reputation, industry insights, continued growth, and overall performance have drawn substantial attention from the healthcare community over the years.
“When I founded ProgenyHealth, my goal was to build a company dedicated to whole-person health—one that proactively identifies challenges and solves for barriers to optimize maternal and infant outcomes. I am incredibly proud of all that we have accomplished as a team and look forward to continuing my involvement with the company in the years ahead.” said Dr. Stang.
“We are thrilled to partner with both ProgenyHealth and Sunstone Partners for this next chapter of growth for the company,” said Steven Dildine, Partner at Cressey. “Our goal is to partner with forward-thinking, mission-driven businesses, and we see a tremendous opportunity for ProgenyHealth to continue expanding access to high-quality care and drive positive impact for patients, providers, and payers across the maternal and infant health continuum.”
In addition to its growth investment, Cressey will provide ProgenyHealth with specialized resources and healthcare expertise to support accelerated growth and enhanced performance.
“These are exciting times both for ProgenyHealth and also the future of maternal and infant healthcare,” said Arneek Multani, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Sunstone Partners. “We have a dynamic and experienced team in place that will achieve great things together. We look forward to working with Cressey, Dr. Stang and the management team to help the Company continue to succeed in its mission.”
