Mark Fritz’s plans to provide complex or “heavy” transitional care for post-acute patients date back more than a decade, to when he founded Remington Medical Resorts in Texas. Now, after having helped out the struggling developer Mainstreet for a couple of years, his Bridgemoor Transitional Care — renamed from Rapid Recovery Centers — has emerged with a handful of year-old buildings and renewed vigor to provide higher-acuity care.

Berklan recently about forming, staf­fing and operating a medically transformative brand of care.
