Ascension Health, a direct subsidiary of Ascension, has entered into an agreement with Evolution Health, a division of Envision Healthcare (Envision), to form a joint venture to provide home care, hospice care and infusion therapy to individuals in communities served by Ascension’s Health Ministries.
“This agreement furthers Ascension’s focus on delivering person-centered care to individuals in a variety of settings, which is key to our efforts to manage the health of patient populations,” said Anthony R. Tersigni, EdD, FACHE, President and Chief Executive Officer, Ascension. “Providing service in the home and through alternative facilities to people in need of care, including those who are poor and vulnerable, is one way we extend our ministry beyond hospital walls and reach individuals and families where and when they need us.”
“A number of our Health Ministries provide home care and related services today in their communities. We believe there is much to be learned by working with Evolution Health in a way that ensures the most effective and efficient care across our national health ministry in support of our Mission of serving all persons,” added Robert J. Henkel, FACHE, President and Chief Executive Officer, Ascension Health.
