Wheelchairs Plus provides rehabilitation equipment, home medical equipment, and disposable medical supplies. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“Rehab Medical is very excited about this opportunity to expand into the great state of Texas,” said Rehab Medical President Kevin Gearheart. “Wheelchairs Plus has a good history of taking care of patients in San Antonio and we are proud to be able to build on the foundation they currently have in place. This is another opportunity to improve lives for Rehab Medical.”
