**About Thrive Healthcare**

Many people struggle with getting back to moving and feeling normal after suffering from an illness or injury. At Thrive Healthcare, we have identified a gap in post-discharge care. That is, many patients are discharged with the notion that they are able to seek their own rehabilitation. But that is not always true.

And this is why we exist. To improve the continuum of rehabilitation in the community by providing better care. We are a rehabilitation company that seeks to empower and guide our clients towards functional recovery.

If you are reading this, chances are that you have the same passion as us, and a deep-desire to continue learning and improving the lives of those around you.
