5th Century Partners has made a strategic investment in ION PT Network, a clinician-managed physical therapy care coordination business focused on workers’ compensation. Founded by physical therapist Joseph Noel in 2017, ION serves payers, third-party administrators, employers and self-insured organizations through a national network of independent providers.

Noel will remain CEO, and the business will continue under its existing brand and clinical model. The investor plans to provide capital and operating resources as ION develops its commercial strategy.
