Company History
After thirty years of being a treating Occupational Therapist in all settings including the NICU of Northridge Hospital, Fredlyn Berger, (AKA Freddie) had a vision to create a multi-disciplinary pediatric therapy company to service the community and truly make an impact. One of the keys to Freddie’s vision was to have a company that offered a loving and family-oriented environment which, at the same time, nurtured the growth and further training of all of its therapists in order to provide the very best service.
Every Child Achieves was launched in 2003 with the vision of making a difference by focusing on early intervention (children ages 0-3).
Then, launched in 2006, Wellness Works Inc. (also known as Wellness Works Therapy), would provide a diverse offering of services for all ages by being affiliated with approximately 300 leading licensed Occupational, Physical and Speech Therapists, Registered Dieticians, Exercise Physiologists, Massage Therapists and Parenting Educators throughout Los Angeles and Ventura Counties. This multi-disciplinary approach ensured that each patient’s needs was thoroughly identified and fully addressed by our team of dedicated professionals.
Wellness Works Therapy hit a major milestone when the company became an in-network preferred provider to over 80 Insurance Companies including Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Aetna, Medicare, and several HMO IPAs including Lakeside Medical Group, Regal Medical Group, Facey Medical Group and Health Care Partners.
In 2009, Wellness Works Therapy launched a school-based company called Reach to Succeed. Reach to Succeed is a certified Non Public Agency (NPA), which allows us to deliver OT, PT, and ST in the North Hollywood Clinic and in schools throughout all of Southern California.
As Wellness Works Therapy continued to connect with the local community, they realized the growing need for therapy services in-home. In 2010, Wellness Works Therapy was able to create partnerships and relationships with additional organizations and insurance companies which enabled them to deliver in-home services via insurance, private pay, and home health throughout Southern California.
In 2011, Wellness Works Home Health, Inc. became officially licensed as a Home Health Agency and is able to accommodate any home health needs for all ages within a 60 mile radius of North Hollywood.
Through the growth of all four companies, we have the ability to offer flexible schedules with a multitude of services through private insurance, private pay, regional centers, and school districts along with private contracts including assisting other home health agencies.
