RHA Health Services is happy to announce the acquisition of Prolex Medical Services, a provider of Intellectual Disabilities and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) services in Chattanooga, TN. Prolex joined RHA in March 2019.
Betty White, RN, past President/CEO of ProLex, says, “As my retirement drew closer, I couldn’t have chosen a better company to acquire the clientele and employees of my company. I’ve been associated with the RHA leadership through consultation, both professionally and personally, since their inception to Tennessee services in 2001. I highly support the merger and look forward to RHA’s ongoing success, dedication and care of the I/DD individuals we have served for the past 20 years.”
RHA began offering services in East Tennessee in 2001. Since then, our I/DD services have expanded to include ICF, Waiver, ECF Choices, Employment and Independence for People with Disabilities (previously Vocational Supports), and will soon offer mental health and substance abuse services throughout the state. RHA currently services the following areas in Tennessee: Chattanooga, Knoxville, Kingsport, Memphis, Murfreesboro, Nashville, Springfield, and Trenton.
RHA’s goal is to ensure that persons-supported are not impacted by this change. To ensure this continuity of care, more than 120 employees were welcomed to RHA as part of this transition.
“I am pleased to welcome the Prolex team to the RHA family,” said Nick Sulaiman, President & CFO of RHA Health Services. “Prolex is a very reputable provider in Tennessee, and we look forward to continue working with persons-supported, families and guardians, local leadership, employees, as well as state and community partners to ensure a smooth transition.”

At RHA Health Services, the people we serve and support in Georgia, Florida, North Carolina and Tennessee are at the very center of everything we do.
We are a growing company, with the goal of growing operations in our current communities, as well as the greater Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern United States. RHA provides a broad range of person-centered, integrated, and high-quality supports. RHA focuses on mental health, substance abuse, and intellectual & developmental disability (I/DD) services.
RHA is accredited by the Council on Quality and Leadership (CQL) and Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) International. RHA has an organizational commitment to the dignity, independence, and equitable treatment of people, as well as their full inclusion into the communities around them. We provide a holistic, person-centered approach to care guided by a system of values that puts the needs of the people we support at the center of every decision.
Founded in 1989, RHA began as a small collection of group homes in North Carolina developed to offer support to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Over the years, RHA has expanded to include supported living, vocational and day programs, periodic respite, personal care services, targeted case management, residential ICF/IDD for infants and children up to age 15 who have acute or chronic health challenges requiring 24/7 therapeutic intervention and skilled nursing care, and much more.
In 2006, RHA began offering behavioral health services and is now the leading provider of high-quality supports and services for people with all kinds of mental health and substance use needs. By meeting the behavioral health needs of our consumers and communities, we can greatly reduce or eliminate the fragmentation of services that leaves some individuals without total, holistic, and truly person-centered care.
We look to acquire organizations of all sizes, ranging from a couple hundred thousand dollars in revenue to multi-million-dollar organizations. We can quickly tell you if your organization is a good fit, and we encourage you to reach out.
How long does the entire acquisition process take?
The timeframe is typically 2-3 months and is highly dependent on the efficiency of the potential seller providing us with the information we request. There are also outside variables we cannot control – specifically, the license transfer process. We have a best-in-class Acquisitions team that manages the entire acquisition process professionally, efficiently, and effectively.
What happens to my employees post-close?
RHA invests significant resources into attracting top talent and highly qualified employees across the entire organization. We view potential acquisitions as opportunities to gain top-tier human capital to improve our overall delivery of high-quality services to the individuals we serve. During the due diligence process, we will work with you to gain an understanding of the potential talent pool associated with your organization. We understand that selling your business can be stress-inducing, and we have been through the process numerous times. We have found the most effective way to help a seller manage this process is to be transparent regarding the positions which potentially may be contained post-close. Once the definitive agreement is executed, we have a robust on-boarding process led by our Human Resources department. During this process, we set up live meetings with employees to give them an overview of RHA, explain our employee benefits and payroll process, as well as answer any transitional questions employees may have. Our goal is to welcome the employees into the RHA family and help promote growth and development.
How do you value a business? What should I expect as an offer for my business?
Unfortunately, there is no specific formula to determine what your business is worth. We incorporate multiple levers into assessing a company’s value. These levers include quality, culture, financial performance, opportunity for growth, geography, payor mix, and access to human capital. Overall, we are willing and able to pay prices representative of the fair market value of recent sales prices within our space.
What if I own real estate associated with my business?
We frequently encounter situations where the owner of a business also owns several operations-related properties affiliated with the business. We can structure an approach either where we purchase the real estate or in which the seller keeps real estate and leases it to us.
We encourage you to reach out to us with any questions you may have, and we genuinely look forward to working with you in a highly confidential manner.
