Curio has announced it acquired the franchise system of Nora Mental Health, expanding its outpatient behavioral health footprint across the United States. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The acquisition adds Nora’s mental health franchise network to Curio’s existing behavioral health operations and expands the company’s presence in outpatient therapy and counseling services.
Founded in 2021, Nora Mental Health operates a franchise model of community-based mental health clinics that provide therapy, counseling, and psychiatric services for children, adolescents and adults. The company has developed a network of franchise locations across multiple states to increase access to outpatient behavioral healthcare in local markets. Curio said the acquisition supports its strategy of building a scaled behavioral health platform spanning multiple care settings and treatment categories.
The acquisition reflects continued consolidation activity in outpatient mental health services as operators seek to expand geographic density, referral networks and access to care amid rising demand for behavioral health treatment nationwide.
