HealthPRO Rehabilitation has acquired The Comprehensive Group of Glenview, a provider of quality rehabilitation therapy services, staffing and consultation.

HealthPRO Rehabilitation, an industry-leading post-acute therapy provider with an exceptional track record of growth and innovation, will continue its expansion efforts with the support of Sandye Lerner, The Comprehensive Group’s founder and CEO, who will stay on as chief innovation officer supporting business development and client relationships.

“Combining the strengths of The Comprehensive Group and HealthPRO Rehabilitation — two quality and customer-focused therapy companies — will allow us to continue to build the premier, rehabilitation-management company in the Chicago region and beyond,” Lerner said in a message to her employees. “With HealthPRO® as our partner, The Comprehensive Group will continue to uphold the highest service principles for our patients, clients, and employees, through exceptional human resource practices, progressive clinical programs, innovative technology, and superior management methods.”

Founded in 1975, The Comprehensive Group’s staff of more than 300 professionals serve hospitals, schools, and long-term care communities with physical, occupational and speech language therapy services. “The Comprehensive Groups’ outstanding reputation, client diversity, and presence in the Chicago market will be a meaningful complement to HealthPRO’s operations, currently serving more than 25,000 post-acute beds in sixteen states.

Additionally, their expertise in the acute care space will accelerate our diversification strategy in preparation for healthcare reform,” says John Heller, HealthPRO’s chief executive officer.

For the past seven years, The Comprehensive Group has been named one of “Chicago’s 101 Best & Brightest Companies to Work For” by the National Association of Business Resources and in 2011 was one of 11 top companies to receive Elite status in the Worklife Balance category.
