"Confluent Health is a Kentucky-born and bred healthcare company invested in innovating an accessible and equitable future of Musculoskeletal care," said Confluent Health President and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Larry Benz, PT, DPT, OCS, MBA, MAPP, FAPTA. "We are proud to expand our national footprint while deepening our roots in the bluegrass state."
This expansion comes off the back of an explosive growth period for Confluent Health. The family of physical and occupational therapy companies saw their outpatient physical and occupational therapy clinic footprint grow to 45 company partners, spanning 530+ outpatient clinics across 29 states.
And this upward trajectory does not appear to be losing momentum. Currently, Confluent Health headquarters employs 125 employees onsite and further anticipates the creation of over 300 full-time jobs across marketing, IT, human resources, and administrative and executive roles, furthering recent economic momentum in the Commonwealth.
Government leaders in the Commonwealth State attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony, sharing congratulatory remarks of Confluent Health's commitment to economic development and job creation.
"It was an honor to join Larry Benz and the Confluent Health team for the ribbon cutting at their new headquarters in Louisville," stated US Senate Minority Floor Leader, Mitch McConnell. "This historic investment will help cement my hometown's reputation as a premier healthcare innovation hub and will bring jobs and development to our city."
"We are very excited that Confluent Health is expanding their presence and opening a new national headquarters in Louisville - nearly quadrupling their staff and creating more high-quality operations jobs here," said Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer. "Louisville is a leader in the health and aging care industry, and our unique ecosystem allows Louisville-based healthcare companies and startups to accelerate, incubate and showcase technology that provide solutions for health and aging. Congratulations to the entire Confluent Health team and founder Dr. Larry Benz and thank you for continuing to invest in our community!"
"We are committed to building an economy that works for every single Kentucky resident, and investing in the rapidly expanding healthcare industry is one of the many ways we are doing just that," Governor Andy Beshear said. "Confluent Health began operations right here in Kentucky and have been committed to our workforce and our communities for years. This investment is just another example of a quality company buying in to what the commonwealth has to offer. I could not be more excited about the ribbon cutting ceremony today and wish Confluent nothing but continued success in the future."
