INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Rehab Medical, a national complex rehab technology (CRT) company, announced its expansion into Austin, Texas after the acquisition of Austin Wheelchair Company.

“We are excited to welcome the team at Austin Wheelchair Company to the Rehab Medical family.” — Kevin Gearheart, Rehab Medical President
“When we look at growth through acquisition, it is critical to find the right fit," said Gearheart. "Specifically, we look for providers who are just as passionate about service excellence and the patient experience as we are. Austin Wheelchair exemplifies those characteristics, and we are looking forward to building on the great foundation of care that is currently in place.”
Austin Wheelchair Co.’s eight-person operation, including two ATP’s, will all transition to Rehab Medical’s team. With the acquisition of Austin Wheelchair Co., Rehab Medical now operates in three major metro markets in Texas and has a total of 28 operating offices nationwide.
