Concentra Inc., is a national health care company founded in 1979 in Amarillo, Texas. Concentra delivers a wide range of medical services to employers and patients, including urgent care, occupational medicine, physical therapy, primary care, and wellness programs.

The company is headquartered in Addison, Texas and operates more than 300 Urgent care centers in 36 states. Concentra has more than 900 affiliated primary care physicians and 600 physical therapists. These health care professionals treat injuries and illnesses, provide disease prevention and wellness services, perform physical examinations, and conduct drug testing. Concentra also provides a range of health improvement solutions to employers, and operates 154 employer onsite medical facilities.

The company's primary focuses are occupational health, physical therapy, health and wellness and urgent care.

Concentra’s predecessor was founded when three primary care physicians opened up the first Occupation Health Center in Amarillo, Texas. These physicians applied the same occupational health model to their second location, which opened in Garland, Texas in 1985.

Between 1985 and 1997, the network of medical centers grew under the management of OccuCenters, Inc. In 1997, Dallas-based OccuSystems, Inc., parent of OccuCenters, merged with Boston-based CRA Managed Care, Inc. to form Concentra Managed Care, Inc., a publicly traded company. In 1999, the company's stock was privatized, and in 2001, the company changed its name to Concentra Incorporated. A period of expansion followed as Concentra grew to include health-related businesses such as network services, bill review, case management, independent medical examinations, and PPO networks. Following a series of divestiture transactions in 2006 and 2007, Concentra narrowed its focus on occupational health, medical center expansion, and wellness and preventive care.

In 2007, the company launched its urgent care initiative to meet the growing need for a cost-effective option to hospital emergency rooms for non-emergency conditions. As part of this initiative, the organization wanted a consistent platform to support its strategic growth plan and align more than 330 centers in 40 states that were varied in design, operational requirements, and brand mark.
