Healthia operates podiatry, physiotherapy, and optometry businesses all over the nation.
The Healthia share price has been surging in the final week of December on the back of several major acquisitions.

These acquisitions will improve revenue by $9.52 million and increase earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) by $1.9 million.
