Harden Healthcare acquired two home health companies, Auxi Health and American HomeCare, earlier in 2007. With the addition of Girling, all home health operations will operate under the Girling Health Care name. Lew Little, CEO of Harden Healthcare, will also serve as CEO of Girling Health Care.
Bettie Girling, president and CEO of Girling Health Care, said: “Girling Health Care has enjoyed many years of success. As we look to the future, we are excited to join forces with Harden Healthcare, a company that has become a major force in providing excellent healthcare in Texas.”
Mr Little, CEO of Harden Healthcare, said: “Harden will focus its expansion in the central US to provide a post-acute continuum of care for the elderly and infirmed. As a result, those patients will be able to utilize a range of services as their healthcare needs change.”
