CHICAGO, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrated Rehab Consultants ("IRC"), a portfolio company of Webster Equity Partners, is pleased to announce its acquisition of Associated Physicians of Rehabilitation ("APR"), a physiatry practice based in Chicago, IL.

"We chose to partner with IRC so we can continue to meet the growing demands of the physical medicine and rehabilitation market," explains Dr. Rahul Sharma, APR CEO. "IRC's quality of care and clinical standards are comparable to our own, making this relationship a seamless and natural fit."
