Louisville, Kentucky – January 24, 2019

Confluent Health is proud to announce their newest partnership with Pappas Physical and Hand Therapy, a physical therapist owned outpatient physical therapy practice with seven locations throughout Rhode Island.

“Since Pappas was founded, our mission has been to deliver the highest quality care possible to every patient in our community and to have fun while doing it,” said Pappas CEO Mike Pappas. “Those are pillars that the Confluent Health family also embraces, which makes this partnership a seamless fit. We look forward to a bright future together and are eager to see how the opportunity for continued growth and development of the Pappas team benefits our staff and our patients.”
