Healthcare specialist Acadia adds Kern as partner

Acadia Professional, the US medical professional liability firm, has appointed Brian Kern as partner.

Acadia provides specialist medical malpractice insurance services for healthcare networks, organisations, and providers, including captive insurance programmes.

Kern has broad expertise in professional liability, and has experience helping build risk purchasing groups and captives, and overseeing loss portfolio transfers.

Prior to joining Acadia, he founded healthcare risk consulting firm Toro Risk Consulting Group and was a founder and principal at Argent Professional, which was acquired by Bollinger.

Additionally, he held the position of counsel at US healthcare law firm Frier and Levitt.

Kern commented: “I am excited to bring my experience to Acadia and its impressive client base.”

“Acadia has established an impeccable reputation for quality and strength, which will be increasingly important in this rapidly changing market.”

Scott Parker, Acadia’s founding partner, said the company was pleased with the arrival of Kern.

He added: “His experience, track record and contribution to health care providers and our industry is highly regarded.”

Acadia partner Henry Kane noted: “Brian Kern brings yet another element of innovation and creativity to our firm, particularly related to the financial risk associated with value-based care.”
