Amedis

Amedisys is a leading healthcare services company in the United States, specializing in home health, hospice, and high-acuity care. The company provides clinical care to patients in their homes, offering an alternative to institutional settings like hospitals or nursing homes. Amedisys operates through several segments, including Home Health, Hospice, and Personal Care, and has recently expanded into "hospital-at-home" services through its acquisition of Contessa Health. In 2023, the company entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by UnitedHealth Group's Optum unit, a move that integrates its extensive home-based care network into a larger value-based care platform.
