Oklahoma‑based Xpress Wellness, a provider of urgent‑care, virtual primary care and post‑acute services, announced the acquisition of Midwest Counseling Services, a Wichita firm specializing in mental‑health care for seniors. Backed by Goldman Sachs, the deal expands Xpress’s footprint into Kansas and adds behavioral health to its rural‑suburban portfolio. Founder Lisa Harrison will join Xpress as director of post‑acute operations for the Kansas market.

Midwest Counseling Services, founded in 2022, has built a niche serving older adults in senior‑living communities. By integrating its behavioral‑health platform with Xpress’s broader clinical network, the combined entity can offer coordinated care across the continuum, from urgent visits to mental‑health follow‑up. The move aligns with Xpress’s strategy to deepen services in underserved areas while leveraging the financial backing of a major Wall Street sponsor.

The acquisition gives Xpress immediate access to a proven senior‑focused mental‑health model, accelerating its push into behavioral health without building capabilities from scratch. Investors will watch how quickly the combined operation can generate cross‑sell revenue and improve margins in a market where demand for integrated care is rising. The deal underscores the growing appeal of consolidating niche providers under capital‑rich platforms.
