J. Kent "Kent" Culley

Invaluable Guidance for Our Non-Profit's Complex Acquisition

Our community health foundation was navigating the acquisition of a small chain of physical therapy clinics, a process fraught with regulatory and operational complexities. We engaged Kent Culley based on his recognized expertise in health care law and mergers & acquisitions, particularly his noted focus on physical therapists. From our first meeting, his deep understanding of Pennsylvania's specific health care landscape and not-for-profit governance was evident. He didn't just review contracts; he provided a strategic roadmap, anticipating issues with state licensing and the integration of for-profit clinical operations into our non-profit structure. His 16 years of experience serving health care trade associations meant he spoke the language of our sector fluently, which built immediate trust with our board. Kent was exceptionally responsive, demystifying every step, and his negotiation strategy protected our foundation's mission while ensuring a viable business outcome. The transaction closed smoothly, and we now have a stronger, more integrated service model. His professionalism and practical wisdom were worth every penny. We will absolutely turn to him and Tucker Arensberg for our future strategic needs.
