"My wife, Jacalyn, and I founded a private physical and occupational therapy practice in 2007, and in 2018, we made the pivotal decision to partner with Confluent Health. Looking back, it was undoubtedly one of the best decisions we've ever made."

“My wife, Jacalyn, and I founded a private physical and occupational therapy practice in 2007, and in 2018, we made the pivotal decision to partner with Confluent Health. Looking back, it was undoubtedly one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. The key to Confluent’s success lies in its unique partnership model—offering local autonomy while providing robust centralized support. This ‘secret sauce’ has enabled us to grow in ways we couldn’t have imagined back in 2018.

Since then, we’ve nearly tripled in size, which has allowed us to take better care of our people and create significant growth opportunities for them. For Jacalyn and me, ensuring our team’s development and success has always been of utmost importance.

Confluent Health has provided invaluable resources in talent development, talent acquisition, finance and accounting, business development, marketing, innovation, PR, HR, compliance, legal support, continuing education, and professional development—just to name a few. Their partnership allows us to focus on growing and developing our people and expanding our business both locally and regionally.

What I value most about Confluent Health is the people. A company is only as strong as the individuals who comprise it, and Confluent’s people are second to none. They are trustworthy, innovative, and have a proven track record of success. Their forward-thinking vision for the future continues to inspire us.

As we look ahead, I’m incredibly excited about our continued journey with Confluent. If asked whether I would make the same decision again, the answer would be a resounding ‘Yes!'”

"EPPTS partnered with Confluent Health on March 2020, at the beginning of the Covid-19 Pandemic and the support given us during this time was unparalleled. "

“EPPTS partnered with Confluent Health on March 2020, at the beginning of the Covid-19 Pandemic and the support given us during this time was unparalleled.  The transition was smooth via the Hive Team, and we did not experience any bumps along the way.  Confluent Health and EPPTS align well in that learning never stops and is a lifelong commitment as one of the pillars that sustain us and makes us successful. Also, via educational opportunities and coaching, we were given tools to improve the company both financially and culturally. Every department within Confluent Health is always ready to assist and it feels comfortable consulting them as needed because they respond on a timely basis. In addition, there is not one person performing multiple positions, on the contrary, there are specialists for each department.  I can confidently say that joining the Confluent Health family has been the best decision I have made over the past 30 + years as a private practice owner and CEO.”
