Dallas-based Baylor Scott & White Health and AccentCare, also in Dallas, signed a letter of intent to form a home health joint venture.
Under the agreement, the organizations will clinically integrate their combined 10 home health agencies, with AccentCare managing all operations.
Officials expect to finalize the joint venture this summer.
"AccentCare shares our commitment to innovative and compassionate patient care and brings significant home care experience to our collaboration," said James Hinton, president and CEO of Baylor Scott & White Health. "As healthcare delivery continues to evolve, this joint venture helps to ensure that high quality integrated care is available to our patients and their families in their homes."
