With such growth, Benchmark finally outgrew the space at its original Ooltewah site this summer and moved last month into the top floor of the new 57,600-square-foot office that also houses Miller-Motte Technical College in the Lee Pointe development at Lee Highway and Highway 153. "We added 52 clinics last year through both acquisitions and our own growth, and we plan to expand into our 14th state by the end of the year."īenchmark is the biggest outpatient rehabilitation provider in its top markets in Atlanta, Chattanooga, Knoxville and Kansas City and operates other clinics across the country from Oregon to Virginia. "We have been and want to continue to be a growing business," said Dave Van Name, president and CEO of Benchmark Rehab Partners, who founded the current version of the company in 2004. Through acquisitions, new services and organic growth, Benchmark Physical Therapy and its corporate successor, Benchmark Rehab Partners, continues to add, on average, about one new clinic every week. What began in 1995 as a small physical therapy clinic in Ooltewah has grown into the largest outpatient rehabilitation provider in the South and one of the fastest growing in the country with more than 280 clinics across the U.S.
