SunDance Rehabilitation history

In 1985, Mediplex formed a real estate investment trust called Meditrust to sell and lease back facilities to save money.

In 1986, Turner and two partners, one of whom was Neal Elliott, president of Hillhaven, left to form Horizon Healthcare Corporation in Washington, before moving the company's headquarters to Albuquerque, New Mexico.

In 1991, bad press for the two leading publicly held psychiatric hospital companies, NME and Community Psychiatric Centers, brought the entire psychiatric industry down, but, in August of that year, Mediplex managed to raise $38 million from a second public offering.

By 1992, total revenues had reached $135.7 million, with net income of $4.4 million.

Mediplex Group Inc., 1994

In 1995, Horizon attempted to purchase Hillhaven, but it was instead acquired by Louisville, Kentucky-based Vencor Inc., a long-term acute care company, one-fourth the size of Hillhaven.

Total revenue for the company in 1996 reached $1.3 billion, with a net income of $21.5 million.

In 1997, the company acquired a 38 percent interest in Alpha Healthcare Ltd. and a majority of six hospitals of Moran Health Care Group Pty Ltd., both in Australia.

Mountain Valley Therapy opened its doors in January of 1999.

In 2003, Mountain Valley Therapy took a big leap of faith and built its current clinic.
