Two factors are having a substantial impact on home health care M&A right now — one affecting the seller and one affecting the buyer. Each is largely out of home health providers’ hands.

Prior to Home Health Care News’ FUTURE event at The Times Center last week, Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton took the same stage to film a new television show. Rumor has it that they were shocked and honored when they heard some of the biggest names in home-based care – the future of health care […]
