Reliable Medical enters three new states

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Reliable Medical has acquired Action Seating & Mobility, a Tulsa, Okla.-based provider of complex rehab technology (CRT) with locations in Oklahoma, Colorado and Arkansas. The deal marks Reliable’s first foray into the three states. “(Action Seating & Mobility founder Mike Harris) has built something special in Action – a business people trust because of how it treats them, not just what it sells them,” said Charles Sargeant, CEO of Reliable. “Bringing that team into Reliable opens up real growth potential for us across Oklahoma, Arkansas and Colorado.” Reliable Medical partnered with Gauge Capital earlier this year to access growth capital and recapitalize the business. Founded in 2007, Action Seating & Mobility has grown into one of the leading CRT providers in the region, Reliable Medical says. “Since we started Action, our focus has always been on being responsive to the patients and referral partners who depend on us,” said Harris. “Reliable shares that same commitment to patients, and this partnership gives our team more resources to keep growing without losing what makes Action different.”
