ROOSEVELT, Utah (September 9, 2022)--Canyon Home Care & Hospice, a leading home health and hospice provider in the Intermountain West, has announced the acquisition of Uintah Basin Home Health and Hospice, a division of the Home Care Services of Uintah Basin Healthcare.
Working in collaboration with Uintah Basin Medical Center, Uintah Basin Home Health and Hospice has demonstrated a proven track record of providing greater access to home health and hospice care in the home, effectively reducing emergent and long-term institutionalization for home health care patients, and improving health outcomes for all patients serviced by Uintah Basin Home Health and Hospice.
"As of Sept. 1, 2022, Canyon Home Care & Hospice takes responsibility for our home health & hospice services," said UBH President and CEO Jim Marshall. "Our patients' last day of service with UBH home health and hospice services is Aug. 31, 2022. (Please note that this does not include our durable medical equipment services.) We are confident that Canyon Home Care & Hospice will offer exemplary, compassionate care. We are honored to have provided care to our home health and hospice patients and their loved ones. We wish them the best and are hopeful that we can accommodate a smooth transition to ensure continued quality, compassionate care."
In recent years, the health care industry has experienced a significant shift towards value-based care and home-based care delivery, further accelerated by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Within these sectors, Canyon Home Care & Hospice has understood these opportunities and has been a dedicated, innovative, compassionate and leading provider across the home health, hospice, and home and community-based services.
"Since our founding in 2012, Canyon Home Care & Hospice has had a long-standing commitment to driving innovation and increasing access to high-quality home health and hospice care," said Eddie Norris, managing partner at Canyon Home Care & Hospice. "The investment in Uintah Basin Home Health and Hospice will allow us to enhance the care coordination with Uintah Basin Medical Center and provide better health outcomes for the patients and clients we serve in the Uintah Basin area."
