Points
1.the  lead therapist has ownership of the clinic 20-35 %.This was the clincher for me.I am in the medical profession and I believe it is the dedication of the professional more than anything else which will promote patient well being which in turn will lead to better performance.

2.America is getting older so the prospects are excellent

3.low debt

The analyst WeeValue also mentions excellent cash flow,ROE,ROIC and an adroit management who is not afraid to take painful decisions(unlike some professors in government).
