Audio By Carbonatix

NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 12, 2025--

Wellpath (the “Company”), the nation’s leading provider of compassionate healthcare to vulnerable patients in correctional facilities, announced today that it successfully emerged from chapter 11 and completed its financial restructuring process.

As part of this emergence, Wellpath transitioned ownership to a group of its current and former lenders (the “Ad Hoc Lender Group”), establishing a strong financial foundation for the Company. This ensures continued delivery of dependable health care services to patients in correctional facilities and demonstrates the Ad Hoc Lender Group’s commitment to the ongoing success of the Company. Wellpath’s deleveraged capital structure enables the Company to continue leading the correctional healthcare industry, delivering reliable, evidence-based, patient-centric care.

“Wellpath stands out in the correctional healthcare space by continuously improving our processes and delivering evidence-based care to those we serve, and we emerge best-positioned to continue setting the pace and standards for the industry,” said Ben Slocum, Chief Executive Officer at Wellpath. “Wellpath is a stronger, more agile business ready to achieve our shared goals with our partners to treat every patient with the dignity they deserve and ensure every provider feels proud of the care they administer.”

He continued, “We are incredibly grateful to our teams for their dedication to our clients and patients and for their trust, as well as our new owners and advisors for their continued partnership throughout this successful restructuring process. We look forward to remaining a critical healthcare provider for many years to come.”
