Combining ACTS with Assurance Health & Wellness will add service locations in Arizona City, Benson, Bisbee, Clifton, Coolidge, Maricopa, Parker, Quartzsite, Safford, Sierra Vista, San Luis, Wellton, Wilcox, and Yuma, as well as Phoenix and Tucson, making Assurance one of the largest providers in Arizona.
“We are committed to improving Arizona’s health and wellness, especially for challenged populations,” said Fletcher J. McCusker, “and we are very excited to partner with David Waples and the team from ACTS.” David Waples added, “Arizona Counseling & Treatment Services is pleased to be joining such a fine organization. It was exciting to find an organization with a very similar vision to ACTS. We believe that this merger and partnership will bring additional services to the clients we serve and will increase the health and wellness of our communities.”
