Eden Health announced its plan to acquire Washington state-based Community Home Health & Hospice’s (CHHH) inpatient programs for an undisclosed price. Eden Health will take over CHHH’s inpatient services effective May 1, 2023. The deal expands Eden Health’s home health and hospice footprint in Washington.
According to Jodie Zelazny, CHHH’s director of community development, CHHH began reaching out to regional partners approximately a year ago to divest its inpatient services while maintaining continuity of patient care and staff employment.
Established in 1977, CHHH has an average daily census of 600 patients.
Eden Health is a subsidiary of Washington-based EmpRes Healthcare, which provides management and consulting services to rehabilitation and post-acute care centers, assisted and independent living communities and home health, home care, palliative care and hospice agencies throughout Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington and Wyoming.
According to data captured from the LevinPro HC database, this acquisition represents the seventh Home Health & Hospice (HH&H) transaction of 2023. There were 110 HH&H transactions announced during 2022.
