Bayada Home Health Care has entered into an agreement to buy New Jersey-based Visiting Nurse Association Health Group in a deal that will unite two nonprofit home care providers. Financial terms of the transaction, expected to be finalized by the end of November, are being kept confidential. The agreement calls for integrating VNAHG’s home-health, hospice and physician service programs and hospital partnerships into Bayada’s operations.
Once the deal is completed, Dr. Steven Landers, president and CEO of VNAHG, will become group president overseeing Bayada’s home-health and hospice specialties. “Dr. Landers is a proven leader in the home health care industry,” said Bayada CEO David Baiada. “The addition of his leadership, clinical excellence and innovative solutions will help us further propel our organization.”
VNAHG of Holmdel, New Jersey, employs nearly 2,500 people and cares for more than 150,000 individuals and families annually.
