The transaction follows a well-established playbook the company has used to scale its operations over time, absorbing established practices while typically retaining existing clinical staff and management.
The deal reflects a broader consolidation trend reshaping the outpatient therapy sector, where larger operators are systematically acquiring independent or regional practices.
