The Columbus Organization Acquires Progressive Journey Group
The Columbus Organization, an Indianapolis-based provider of services to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), has announced its acquisition of Orlando, Florida-based Progressive Journey Group.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The Columbus Organization has more than 30 years of experience serving people with IDD in 42 states. Meanwhile, Progressive Journey is an IDD provider servicing central Florida’s Spanish-speaking residents.
The deal helps bolster The Columbus Organization’s current presence in Florida.
“Our entry into this market, combined with our current presence in Tampa and Tallahassee, gives us one of the top, if not top market shares in Florida,” Jeff Klimaski, president and CEO for The Columbus Organization, said in a press release announcing the news. “We will continue to look at other acquisitions to enhance our ability to drive our brand of support coordination throughout the Florida market.”
Klimaski was appointed to head up the company earlier this month. The company is also adding upper-level management positions to help accommodate plans for further future growth.
