Acquisition Adds Prominent Fort Worth Based Group, Premier Rehab, to Empower Family.
Phoenix, AZ – Empower Physical Therapy today announced the acquisition of Premier Rehab Physical Therapy, located in Fort Worth, Texas. The practice group was established with a single clinic in 2003 by founder Dr. Kelly McFarland Lawrence and since then has grown to be a leading provider with six locations across the Fort Worth metropolitan area.
Premier Rehab Physical Therapy provides award-winning outpatient physical therapy services using a hands-on, individualized approach. These personalized treatments assist patients recovering from a range of health issues including pain, vestibular problems, joint issues, post-operative conditions, and sports and work-related injuries. Premier currently operates locations in North Richland Hills, Fort Worth, Arlington, Keller, and Castle Hills. The locations also provide aquatic therapy.
“Premier Rehab Physical Therapy has an outstanding reputation in its local communities for providing exceptional care to patients, which makes the Premier Rehab Physical Therapy team an incredible addition to the Empower Physical Therapy family,” said Empower Physical Therapy CEO Steve DiPaola. “We look forward to supporting the Premier’s continued focus on providing high quality, patient-centered care which is central to our mission at Empower. We also plan to support Kelly and the Premier team’s continued expansion efforts in its core market.”
Dr. Kelly McFarland Lawrence expressed her enthusiasm for the opportunity the combined groups will have to continue to provide quality care, saying “It’s an exciting time to partner with Empower as we continue to promote the private practice sector of our physical therapy profession. We share the same number one patient focus which is providing
world-class quality outpatient physical therapy services to our patients. Our goal has always been to continue to grow our practice and our physical therapy leaders and I find Empower to be that perfect fit moving forward for our future.” She will continue to provide leadership to the practice group in her new role as Regional Vice President of Operations.
With the addition of Premier Rehab Physical Therapy, therapist-led Empower Physical Therapy now operates 40 clinics across Arizona, California, Louisiana, and Texas. For additional information or to find clinic locations please visit https://www.premierrehab.org/ and https://empowerpt.com/.
