This strategic acquisition strengthens PAX Health's commitment to providing comprehensive mental health solutions while expanding its specialized services for patients dealing with trauma-related psychiatric conditions and chronic pain management.
“Harris Psychiatric Services has built an impressive reputation for treating complex cases where physical injury intersects with mental health needs,” said CEO, Anthony DeSena. “Their expertise in treating depression, anxiety disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder in the context of workplace and accident recovery adds a vital dimension to our services.”
Harris Psychiatric Services is known for its accessibility to patients with workers' compensation insurance and its evidence-based approach to treating the psychiatric complications that often accompany serious injuries.

This acquisition represents another step in PAX Health's growth strategy, supported by healthcare-focused private equity firm HCAP Partners and global investment management firm Hamilton Lane. The combination will enhance PAX Health's ability to deliver tailored behavioral health solutions across diverse patient populations.
