LHC Group (NASDAQ: LHCG) and LifePoint Health® (NASDAQ: LPNT) have finalized the purchase of Wilson County Home Health. The two organizations will share ownership of the home health provider, serving patients and families in Wilson County, NC, and the surrounding region.
The provider was purchased – effective Sept. 1 – from Wilson County by the existing joint venture partnership between LHC Group and LifePoint Health. The name has changed to Home Health of Wilson, and the agency is operating from a new location at 1901 Tarboro St., SW, Suite 304, in Wilson.
With the completion of the acquisition by LHC Group and LifePoint Health, Home Health of Wilson will be affiliated with Wilson Medical Center, enabling a seamless coordination of care for the patients they serve. Wilson Medical Center is a 294-bed facility that is affiliated with LifePoint through Duke LifePoint Healthcare, the network of which Wilson Medical Center is a part.
Hospital and home health/hospice partnerships focus on delivering patient-centered care in the comfort of the patient’s home. They are a key component in helping patients recover, manage chronic conditions, deal with the challenges and complexities of terminal illness, and achieve the best possible outcome. LHC Group is the joint venture partner of choice for 76 health systems consisting of 337 hospitals across the United States.
LHC Group and LifePoint Health formed their partnership in January 2017. Together, they currently operate 31 home health and 14 hospice locations in 10 states as part of the joint venture partnership, and continue creating new opportunities to develop and expand post-acute services in the communities they serve.
