U.S. HealthWorks Grows Occ Med Business with New Acquisition

U.S. HealthWorks continues to invest heavily in its Florida occupational medicine business, more than doubling its stake there by buying Lakeside Occupational Medical Centers, which operates 14 centers in the Tampa Bay, Lakeland, and Orlando areas. Once the deal is finalized, U.S. HealthWorks will have 27 locations in Florida; they’ll be among 244 medical offices and onsite clinics in 21 states. That makes it one of the largest occupational health and urgent care operators in the country. More than 20 Lakeside providers will stay on with U.S. HealthWorks.
