Unison Health history

In 1989, Jerry M. Walker, Phillip Rollins, and Paul Contris were hired as troubleshooters by Samaritan Senior Services Inc., which formerly operated the subacute and long-term healthcare divisions of Samaritan Health System.

Since its inception in 1992, Unison HealthCare Corporation has been among the leading providers of comprehensive long-term and specialty healthcare services in the United States.

Total revenue growth skyrocketed from there, although profits were low the following year; total revenue for 1993 nearly doubled to $8 million, but the net income was a mere $109,000.

By the end of 1994, SunQuest HealthCare owned and/or operated some 20 facilities located throughout 11 states, with total revenue on that year reaching $12.4 million, with a net income of $340,000.

Needing access to a fresh influx of capital if it was going to continue to grow, the company began searching for private investors and venture capital firms in Spring 1995.

In February 1996, the company purchased the remaining 10 percent minority ownership in the Sunbelt Therapy Management Services Inc. group of companies.

Jimmy L. Fields also came aboard as executive vice-president and chief financial officer in April 1998.

To accommodate their ongoing growth, both organizations went through a number of major capital projects, including an addition of two satellites and community services hubs in 2006.

As the centre began expanding its services into new communities, it went through another name change in 2008 and became known as New Heights Community Health Centres.

The agency officially changed its name to Unison Health in February 2017 to emphasize the full scope of our community-based health services, including our range of integrated health services.
