Hanger Clinic, Texas, acquired Surestep, a manufacturer of custom pediatric orthotic devices, in an effort for Hanger to expand its pediatric capabilities. The transaction includes Surestep’s sister company, Transcend O&P, which has 13 patient care clinic locations in six states.
The collaboration will give Surestep access to resources to help solidify its position as a manufacturer of custom pediatric orthotics, and is a continuation of Hanger’s investment in its recently launched pediatric specialty.
“We have long been admirers of the work of Surestep and Transcend, and we share their commitment to delivering high-quality clinical care, products, and services,” said Pete Stoy, Hanger’s COO.
Surestep will be managed independent of Hanger Clinic, and the business will maintain its brand, leadership, and team, led by Surestep founder and CEO Bernie Veldman. Transcend O&P and its employees will integrate into the Hanger Clinic business.
“Our priority is fabricating quality products that provide life-changing outcomes, and this partnership will enable us to leverage the strengths of a national company to ultimately serve an even greater population of children in need,” Veldman said.
