CHICAGO—Therapy 2000, a Texas-based provider of pediatric therapy services, announced it is partnering with Avesi Partners, a private equity group.
Therapy 2000 provides pediatric therapy services for children from birth through age 21. The organization partners with families to deliver individualized, goals-oriented care that supports daily routines and participation at home, in school and in the community. The company was founded in 2000 by Jerre van den Bent, CEO, and over the years the company has grown to serve more than 10,000 patients and over 1,000 employees throughout its footprint in Texas. Therapy 2000 also supports families during critical transitions, including returning home after NICU discharge, with evidence-based feeding and motor therapy and caregiver coaching.
The company said this partnership will enable Therapy 2000 to expand into new care settings and states, and partner with other mission aligned pediatric providers.
"Pediatric therapy has been a priority focus area for Avesi given the significant and growing need for services, dearth of scaled providers with proven clinical quality and multiple levers for growth available to platforms in the space," said Pete Tedesco, managing director at Avesi. "We look forward to leveraging our resources and execution capabilities in partnership with the talented team at T2K to extend services nationally, grow into new care settings, and continue delivering exceptional service to T2K's patients, payers and referral sources."
"Improving the lives of children and their families is at the core of everything we do," said Jerre van den Bent, Therapy 2000 CEO. "Guided by an uncompromising commitment to integrity, we are focused on delivering cost-effective and quality services to support a growing need. Through our partnership with Avesi, we are now positioned to replicate our proven model of care across the country."
