Sheridan retains minority ownership as DAS enters its next chapter of growth
CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sheridan Capital Partners (“Sheridan”) today announced the majority sale of DAS Health Ventures, LLC (“DAS Health” or “the Company”), a provider of healthcare IT and business solutions, to Coalesce Capital. Sheridan initially partnered with DAS Health in 2021 and will retain a minority ownership position following the transaction.
Founded in 2003 by David Schlaifer and headquartered in Tampa, FL, DAS Health provides managed IT services, cybersecurity, cloud hosting, revenue cycle management, compliance, and EHR/PM support to independent physician groups, hospitals, and senior living organizations across North America.

DAS also enhanced its leadership team, with Schlaifer transitioning to Executive Chairman and Michelle Jaeger appointed CEO in 2023.
“Sheridan has been an invaluable partner in helping DAS Health execute on our strategy,” said Michelle Jaeger, CEO of DAS Health. “Their support enabled us to broaden our capabilities and scale across the ambulatory and senior care markets. We are proud of what we’ve accomplished together and are excited to continue our momentum with Coalesce.”
“Since partnering with DAS Health in 2021, we have helped the company grow by over 400% by broadening its solutions and expanding its geographic reach and addressable market, thereby delivering more services to a greater number of growing clients across a broader spectrum of the healthcare landscape,” said Jonathan Lewis, Partner at Sheridan. “We are proud of the progress the DAS Health team has made and look forward to supporting their continued expansion alongside Coalesce Capital to deliver even more impact for healthcare organizations.”
Sheridan’s continued investment reflects its confidence in DAS Health’s long-term trajectory and the opportunities that remain ahead.
