SportsMed Physical Therapy Acquires WeCare Medical PT and Wellness
SportsMed Physical Therapy, a prominent name in the outpatient rehabilitation industry, has taken a significant step by announcing its recent acquisition of WeCare Medical PT and Wellness, situated in Maplewood, New Jersey. This strategic move marks an expansion of SportsMed to a total of 51 clinics across New Jersey and Connecticut, underlining its mission to deliver high-quality, patient-centered care to a broader demographic.
The Maplewood clinic stands as a testament to SportsMed's commitment to enhancing healthcare accessibility in the region. The new facility not only adds to the network of clinics strategically targeting New Jersey but also establishes a stronghold in Essex County, which is known for its diverse population needing various rehabilitation services. This clinic will offer an extensive array of services such as physical therapy, occupational and hand therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, and HomeCare services. Each patient will receive a customized treatment plan focused on clinical excellence and individual recovery goals.
Peter N. Ponzini, CEO of SportsMed Physical Therapy, expressed enthusiasm about this acquisition. He mentioned, “We’re proud to expand our presence in Essex County, with the acquisition of WeCare Medical PT and Wellness. This addition reinforces our commitment to bringing high-quality, patient-centered care to individuals in both Union and Essex Counties.” Such statements indicate a proactive approach to addressing healthcare needs in the community.
SportsMed's transformational journey over the past few years is noteworthy. Since forming a partnership with Hildred Capital Management in 2018, the company has experienced rapid growth, skyrocketing from just 7 locations to its current total of 51 clinics. This expansion reflects SportsMed's continuous efforts to enhance its service offerings and extend its reach. The objective is clear; they aim to improve lives through movement and recovery, providing their services to anyone in need.
Patients can expect a high standard of care at the new Maplewood facility, aligning with SportsMed’s long-standing reputation. By focusing on customized patient experiences, the clinic seeks to address the unique challenges faced by individuals recovering from injuries or managing chronic conditions.
Beyond physical therapy, the holistic approach adopted by the Maplewood clinic includes treatments aimed at overall well-being. This reflects an understanding that health goes beyond just physical recovery; emotional and psychological aspects play a crucial role in a patient’s overall healing process.
SportsMed’s history of offering robust outpatient rehabilitation services ensures that clients will benefit from a multidisciplinary approach. With services now including chiropractic care and acupuncture, patients have access to various referral and treatment options tailored to their specific therapeutic needs.
Legal support for the acquisition was provided by Holland and Knight, a well-respected law firm known for their expertise in corporate matters. The backing from Hildred Capital Management, a notable investor in the lower middle market healthcare sector based in New York City, has proven instrumental in facilitating SportsMed’s ambitious expansion plans.
In conclusion, the acquisition of WeCare Medical PT and Wellness not only marks a milestone in SportsMed’s journey but also reinforces its pledge to provide exceptional rehabilitation services across New Jersey and Connecticut. As the company moves forward, it remains focused on the mission of improving lives while adapting to the ever-evolving healthcare landscape.
