New Hyde Park, N.Y.-based Northwell Health is in negotiations to acquire the Tarrytown, N.Y.-based Visiting Nurse Association of Hudson Valley, a certified nonprofit home healthcare agency, according to the Fairfield County Business Journal.
VNAHV filed a certificate of need regarding the potential transaction with the state department of health in December.
Officials said VNAHV will continue to operate under its existing name following the acquisition.
"Home care is obviously an important part of the whole continuum of care to patients, so given our work with those hospitals, we thought this was a really necessary service we needed to provide to our patients," said Terence Lynam, a spokesman for Northwell Health.
