Therapy (Ivy) on its continuation fund transaction. The transaction
was led by Andy Dixon, Cheairs Porter and Lucas Scholl of the
Harris Williams Healthcare & Life Sciences (HCLS) Group.
“We continue to see strong investor interest in the outpatient
physical rehabilitation services industry, especially for
high-quality providers like Ivy,” said Andy Dixon, a managing
director at Harris Williams. “We believe the company’s exceptional
patient care, proven de novo and partnership models, and
outstanding management team position it to capitalize on a number
of attractive trends driving demand for outpatient rehabilitation
services. It was a pleasure working with the Ivy team.”
“We look forward to watching Ivy continue its growth alongside
Waud Capital Partners,” added Cheairs Porter, a managing director
at Harris Williams.

set of therapy treatment options and specialized care programs and
is dedicated to providing exceptional clinical care and the best

investment horizon in an effort to pursue additional growth and
industry leadership.
