In a growing health and wellness category, Vital Care Infusion expanded its unit count by 66.7 percent.
“Put patients first.” That’s the straightforward approach to growth for Vital Care CEO Steve Foreman, and a logical one for a company that provides physician-prescribed infusion therapies to patients with a range of needs, be it nutrition support or treatment of a chronic disease.
“We understand that sustainable growth begins with exceptional patient care, and exceptional communication with both patients and healthcare providers,” said Foreman. “If we do these things well, we create impact and lasting value. Growth naturally follows.”
And follow it has. Vital Care ended 2024 with 110 locations, up 66.7 percent from 2022, and systemwide sales of $1.3 billion, a 153 percent increase from 2022.

An enhanced franchise development process has helped the brand bring in strong local operators, Foreman said, and standardized best practices with playbooks and shared systems make it easier for franchisees to operate with a high level of quality and efficiency.
“We provide extensive training in every facet of operations, from billing and financial management to pharmacy and clinical support,” he added.
Maintaining quality and consistency as the brand grows is a challenge, he acknowledged, one Vital Care overcomes by investing heavily in training, communication and accountability. Vital Care was founded by Johnny Bell in 1986 and acquired by Berkshire Partners and Green & Partners in 2024 with ongoing support from Linden Capital.
