Krogerus advised Invalidisäätiö on the sale of Orton Oy to Helsinki and Uusimaa Hospital District (HUS) and Mehiläinen Terveyspalvelut Oy.

Orton is a healthcare organisation specialising in musculoskeletal disorders, pain management, ocular diseases and therapeutic services. As a result of the transaction, HUS and Mehiläinen became the owners of Orton with a 90% and 10% stake respectively.

After the transaction, Invalidisäätiö will remain a minority shareholder in HYKSin with a 10% share. Other shareholders of HYKSin include HUS (70%), Mehiläinen (10%) and Varma Mutual Insurance Company (10%).
