September 10, 2021 – LHC Group, Inc. (Lafayette, LA) has entered into an agreement to purchase Brookdale Health Care Services agencies from the recently formed home health, hospice and outpatient therapy venture between HCA Healthcare (Nashville, TN) and Brookdale Senior Living Inc.
The agencies, which are not in areas served by HCA Healthcare, include 23 home health locations, 11 hospice, and 13 therapy agencies across 22 states.
The agencies will continue to operate under their existing brands and locations.
“In July, HCA Healthcare purchased a majority stake in Brookdale Health Care Services to expand access to healthcare services for our patients,” said Sam Hazen, CEO of HCA Healthcare. “We believe the sale to LHC Group of these sites of care, which were part of that transaction and are not in communities we currently serve, positions them for continued success.”
The transaction is expected to close in Q4 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.
