“Our second quarter results reflected an encouraging recovery in Hanger’s business,” said Vinit Asar, president and CEO. “Within the patient care segment, on a same-clinic basis, second quarter net revenue was approximately 96 percent of 2019 levels. While we remain concerned, as others do, with the lingering effects of the pandemic on the nation’s business and labor environment, we are nevertheless pleased with our progress for the year to date and believe we are well positioned to further restore growth as the pandemic comes to an end.”
