Newport Healthcare

What Newport Healthcare does

Newport Healthcare is a privately held, for-profit behavioral health treatment provider founded in 2008 and headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee. The company operates a nationwide network of residential treatment programs, Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), and (via its PrairieCare division) inpatient psychiatric hospital care for children ages 7-11, teens ages 12-18, and young adults ages 18-35 with mental health and co-occurring substance use conditions. The portfolio is organized under four sub-brands: Newport Academy (children and teens), Newport Institute (young adults), Center for Families (outpatient teen care in Pennsylvania and Minnesota), and PrairieCare (Minnesota-based full continuum including a 24/7 inpatient hospital and TMS therapy). Clinical offerings center on evidence-based modalities (CBT, DBT, EMDR, ACT, ABFT, ERP for OCD) delivered through a family-centered care model with industry-leading staff-to-client ratios, a multidisciplinary clinical workforce, and a Center for Research and Innovation that validates outcomes with third-party academic review (Vanderbilt University).

The company has scaled from 75 treatment beds and 3 outpatient programs in 2018 to more than 800 beds and 21 outpatient programs across 12 U.S. states. Newport Healthcare generates revenue primarily through insurance reimbursement, with 99% of families using insurance coverage and the company maintaining in-network status with major payers including Optum, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Kaiser Permanente, and TRICARE. Distribution is driven by a 24/7 admissions team, a field-based clinical outreach organization that cultivates professional referrals, joint marketing with insurance partners, and direct-to-consumer digital channels. The company holds a Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval and LegitScript certification, and it reports strong clinical and brand metrics including a 41.9 NPS, 99% professional referral satisfaction, and 100,000+ patients served cumulatively by the PrairieCare division. As of late 2024, Brian Setzer (formerly EVP Health & Wellness at Walmart) serves as CEO, succeeding founder-era leader Joe Procopio who became Chairman.

Direct peers

• Alsana: Specialty eating disorder treatment provider with residential and PHP/IOP programs; competes with Newport in the eating disorder specialty vertical with similar co-occurring disorder treatment positioning.

• Center for Discovery: Private multi-state operator of residential and outpatient eating disorder and mental health treatment programs for adolescents and adults; directly comparable in service mix and patient population to Newport.
• Rogers Behavioral Health: Nonprofit specialty provider known for OCD, anxiety, and eating disorder treatment including residential, PHP, and IOP levels of care; competes directly with Newport's specialty programming in OCD (ERP) and eating disorders.
• Discovery Behavioral Health: Private multi-state operator of residential and outpatient mental health and substance use treatment programs serving adolescents and adults; one of the closest direct comparables to Newport in size, scope, and patient population.
• Rosecrance Health Network: Nonprofit provider of behavioral health services including residential, outpatient, and inpatient care for adolescents and adults; comparable in continuum-of-care breadth and youth residential focus.

Emerging players

• Charlie Health: Virtual-first intensive outpatient and mental health provider for adolescents and young adults; an emerging digital competitor that could siphon lower-acuity referrals away from Newport's IOP/PHP levels of care.

Joe Procopio (Newport's Chairman) previously led Acadia.
• Universal Health Services (Behavioral Health Division): Large public health system with a significant behavioral health hospital and residential footprint; broader incumbent that overlaps with Newport's inpatient (PrairieCare) and adolescent acute services.
