Descriptiontext

Nova Medical Centers is a Houston, Texas-based healthcare provider founded in 1992 that delivers occupational health services focused on musculoskeletal injuries, including workplace health and safety solutions, on-site clinic services, medical examinations, drug testing, and workers' compensation care for employers and employees. The company operates with a headcount of 501-1,000 employees and was, prior to its 2025 acquisition, a regionally scaled private operator serving the occupational and workplace injury market.

In 2025, Nova Medical Centers was acquired by Concentra Group Holdings Parent, Inc. as part of the parent's strategic acquisitions alongside Pivot Onsite Innovations, becoming a subsidiary of the publicly traded parent. Concentra operates 628 stand-alone centers and 411 onsite clinics across 47 states, so Nova's regional Texas operations are now embedded within a national occupational health platform.

The revenue model is not publicly disclosed, but consistent with the occupational health segment, revenue is presumed to be generated through employer contracts, workers' compensation payor relationships, and per-visit or per-service fees for injury care and employer-mandated services. No pricing details, product line breakdowns, technology stack, certifications, named customers, management team, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed in the available source material, and the company's website domain (n-o-v-a.com) shows expired DNS hosting, limiting additional public visibility.
