Clearwater Wellness Clinic Expands Advanced Care
Health and wellness operators in Clearwater will face a larger integrated competitor offering multiple advanced therapies on one campus.
Updated on Nov. 2, 2026 in Openings & Closings
LifeWorks Wellness Center held a ribbon-cutting on October 22, 2026, for a new treatment facility in Clearwater, with more than 100 guests attending and a self-guided tour of the expanded space. The clinic offers Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, HOCATT ozone sauna, Hyperthermia, IVs, PEMF, and EECP, which affects patients seeking combined conventional and functional care in the area.
Why it matters
The addition of an expanded IV suite, a larger on-site lab, and purpose-built rooms for advanced modalities reflects a clinic expanding its capacity to handle more services under one roof. For operators in Clearwater's health and wellness sector, the expansion signals growing competition for patients seeking integrated treatment options.
LifeWorks Wellness Center, founded in 1997, now employs more than 120 staff and drew more than 100 guests to its October 22, 2026 ribbon-cutting. No comparator for prior patient volume or staffing levels was reported.
