Confluent Health has announced plans to relocate and expand its national headquarters in Louisville, a project that will create 350 full-time Kentucky resident jobs with an initial 2022 investment of approximately $10M.
Expansion plans come off the back of an explosive year of growth in 2021, which saw Confluent Health’s outpatient physical and occupational therapy clinic footprint grow to 42 company partners, spanning 512 outpatient clinics across 29 states.
Confluent Health currently employs 123 people in Louisville. Jobs created with the expansion include marketing, IT, human resources, administrative and executive roles which fall into Confluent Health’s five operating divisions, spanning private practice, higher-education, workplace safety and prevention sites, a national provider network, and a digital innovation center, the company notes in a media release.
“Confluent Health is a Kentucky born and bred healthcare company, proud to reaffirm our national headquarters in Louisville. We are honored to contribute to Louisville’s premier recognition as a healthcare innovation hub and be a part of multiple Kentucky-based businesses dedicated to strong lifestyles, health, and wellness. I am proud to have spent my entire career providing services in Kentucky which began at Ft. Knox as a military officer and then transitioned to private enterprise.”
— Confluent Health’s President and CEO Dr. Larry Benz
Double the Office Space
While a location for the project has yet to be determined, work on the headquarters project will begin in the coming weeks with completion anticipated by Summer 2022. Company leaders are expecting the project to double office space from 18,000 square feet to over 36,000 square feet.
Leaders in the Commonwealth celebrated Confluent Health’s commitment to economic development and job creation in official statements from Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer, Governor Andy Beshear, Congressman John Yarmuth, and Senator Mitch McConnell.
“Kentucky is an incredible place to do business. Confluent Health has established itself as a distinguished leader in our robust healthcare industry, and their commitment to creating great jobs right here at home demonstrates Larry Benz’s Kentucky-first vision for growth.

“As we continue to build on our economic momentum of the past year, health care-related companies will be an important part of our continued growth.

I want to thank the leaders at Confluent Health for this commitment to create even more quality jobs in the commonwealth.”
