As part of the transaction, MasVida acquired the Joerns products and associated operational assets in the territory to support customers in the region with all their long-term care rental service needs.

"Joerns is pleased and proud to partner with MasVida in this service area," said Doug Ferguson, general manager, Joerns North America. "MasVida shares a very similar passion for resident care and customer engagement like we do at Joerns.

We look forward to a growing partnership with the MasVida team as we partner in supporting delivered services to the VA and its veterans in the area as well."
"Our partnership with Joerns Healthcare reflects a common mission that better products and better service produce better outcomes.
