SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - Baystate Health is handing over its home infusion and respiratory services business to CVS, according to the Greenfield Recorder. Baystate Home Infusion & Respiratory Services will close by the end of the month. After a strategic review, Baystate Health found “durable medical equipment and home delivery of respiratory services, and related equipment and supplies, are not a core business of Baystate Health,” a spokeswoman for the healthcare system told the newspaper. “The changing healthcare environment guided our decision-making.” The spokeswoman, Molly MacMunn, added, “We recognized that the services and opportunities to deliver home infusion and respiratory services to our patient population could be done in more innovative and efficient ways by companies whose core business focus is in the area of durable medical equipment and home delivery of respiratory services and related equipment and supplies.” Baystate Health services more than 800,000 people throughout western New England.
