As members of the Upstream Rehabilitation family, we strive to integrate the community-based entrepreneurial therapist with a strong backbone of management, marketing, and administrative services, using a unique therapist-partnership model which gives our clinical leaders the opportunity to be minority equity holders in their individual clinic.
Our Mission, Vision & Values
The Upstream family is dedicated to fulfilling our mission, vision, and values each and every day. They are our guiding principles that ensure exceptional patient care, continued growth of our company, professional development of our associates, and the drive to support our communities and people in need. If you share a similar vision and values, we’d love to explore what an Upstream partnership would look like with your practice.
What Makes Us Unique?
The answer is simple: It’s our people and our culture. Everything we do revolves around what is best for our patients. Our culture is what drives us each and every day. We work hard, have fun, and care for our patients with a purpose driven passion. Look around our clinics and you’ll see living examples of this in all of our associates. It’s about making a difference in the lives of those around us each and every day.
Reducing the Risk
Starting a practice on your own can be a very scary proposition for even the most seasoned business professional. Let us take the guesswork and headache out of starting a clinic. The support we offer minimizes the risk of starting your own practice. Don’t understand reimbursement policies? Worried about the constantly changing healthcare regulations? Don’t be. We have that handled, along with marketing, payroll, billing, recruiting, compliance, IT, lease negotiations, and a host of other services available at your fingertips.
We even offer leadership development opportunities, like our Clinic Director Academy and our Leadership Development Program, that will help you cultivate the knowledge and skills necessary to lead a successful clinic.
As we continue to grow into new markets across the country, we are actively seeking natural leaders who are determined and committed to consistently providing patients with superior care. Here are a few of the operational benefits that Upstream provides to our partners:

Giving a helping hand to those who need it
Upstream’s Pillars with Purpose Benevolent Funds are the first ever formalized giving vehicle for associates of Upstream Rehabilitation and its partner brands to give to a multitude of benevolent funds which ultimately support charities that our associates hand pick. The Pillars with Purpose Benevolent Funds — which include six specific funds, one general fund, and one associate hardship fund — aim to create lasting positive change in Upstream communities and in other places around the world.
