The APRN® Corporation is a multi-state provider of ancillary health services, offering high-quality physical rehabilitation, respiratory therapy, and sleep disorder diagnostics. Incorporated in 1967, APRN® has a rich history rooted in excellence and innovation.
Founded in 1959 as the American Physical Rehabilitation Network by brothers Richard and Thomas Leffler, both physical therapists, APRN® began as a private practice. Recognizing the critical need for physical therapy services in small community hospitals and nursing homes that struggled to attract therapists and operate cost-effectively, the Leffler’s expanded their practice to deliver services through contractual agreements. This innovative model laid the foundation for the trusted organization APRN® is today.
As the high degree of success of this "service under arrangement" became known among healthcare institutions, facilities outside the immediate area expressed interest and the practice soon encompassed a multi-state region. Respiratory therapy and home healthcare were added to the scope of services available through APRN® At the same time, the private clinic division of the corporation experienced a similar growth pattern. Today, APRN® provides a comprehensive line of ancillary services including Physical Rehabilitation, Respiratory Services, and Sleep Disorder Services.
