Throughout these first two years, "Managed Care" was progressing and many Clinicians were forced to sell out to larger corporations. ADVANCED HEALTH continued to market quality care delivered in an efficient manner. Fees were at least 40% less than the competition and only "licensed professional" staff provided services in the outpatient offices. ADVANCED HEALTH'S devotion to clinical efficiency and a pro-active clinical reputation allowed a strong progression during volatile times in the health care industry. 

In 1995, ADVANCED HEALTH became a "Limited Liability Corporation". To assure future success, we became a member of Ohio's largest Physical Therapy Network. This Network consists of numerous private practices who collectively compete against large corporations for insurance participation. During the same year we secured an Athletic Trainer to promote our Sports Medicine Program. 

In 1997, Tom Legando PT, Cert MDT, CLT, joined ADVANCED HEALTH and in 2001, became an equal partner with the corporation. Today ADVANCED HEALTH provides Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Athletic Training services to numerous health care facilities, outpatient offices, home health agencies and high schools.
