American Specialty Health, a private healthcare company, will take residence at 13650 Heritage Pkwy in AllianceTexas. The Indiana-based company is moving its Texas office from Southlake to Fort Worth in order to support the persistent growth officials say they’ve seen.
Fort Worth has landed a healthcare company from a neighboring city, one aiming to employ hundreds more by year-end.
American Specialty Health will take residence at 13650 Heritage Pkwy in AllianceTexas, a multi-development community in north Fort Worth hosting 500 companies. The Indiana-based company offers benefits management services, and is moving its Texas office from Southlake to Fort Worth in order to support the persistent growth officials say they’ve seen.
“We are in the midst of a recruiting effort,” says Lisa Freeman, senior public relations manager for ASH. “We needed to expand. It’s a much bigger office space. It will enable employees to be more comfortable in a larger space as we continue to grow.”
By year end, Freeman says ASH anticipates growing from 300 current employees in Southlake to 500 in Fort Worth. In total, about 350 to 375 would be full-time with the remainder hired as temps.
The healthcare group will be leasing 164,000 square feet of office space previously occupied by Mercedes-Benz Financial Services, which recently opened its new Fort Worth business center also within AllianceTexas.
“We are pleased to welcome American Specialty Health to AllianceTexas’ ever-growing office community,” said Steve Aldrich, senior vice president of Hillwood, in a written statement. “Our region has an extensive and impressive list of top-tier health companies and with its cutting-edge healthcare services and new employment opportunities, ASH enhances that list in North Texas.”
The folks at ASH say the company covers more than 50 million Americans under its benefits administration programs, and that the company has grown into a half billion-dollar corporation since opening in 1987. The company provides services in musculoskeletal health, fitness and exercise programs, and more with a goal of “bending the health care cost curve.”
