In 2019 Mark Tress, Stephen Werdiger and Chaim Rottenberg established Cedar Health Group (CHG) as a privately held opportunist investment and asset management company servicing the healthcare industry. They bring a combined forty plus years of multi-industries experiences. CHG have focused on purchasing and developing long-term acute care and mental health facilities nationwide.
CHG uses its multi-industry experience to creatively identify and execute on opportunities across the country. CHG has found that providing the full continuum of care for the medically and mentally challenged is a growing need that is not yet being properly addressed by the current medical establishment.
CHG owns and operates four Long Term Acute Care Hospitals, Intensive Specialty Hospital in Shreveport, Louisiana, and Intensive Specialty Hospital in Bossier City, Louisiana.
CHG has several outpatient programs; Intensive Behavioral Health and NL Whole Health Treatment Center in Shreveport and Sunview Wellness in West Palm Beach. CHG is in the process of building additional inpatient and outpatient acute care hospitals in West Palm Beach, Florida, Melrose Park, Illinois, San Antonio, Texas and Wichita, Kansas. Additional inpatient substance abuse and eating disorder facilities are present in Washington State and Mt. Dora, Florida. Additionally, CHG owns nursing facilities throughout the country.
