HealthKeeperz scales back to scale up 

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. – HealthKeeperz has signed an agreement to sell its home health business to BAYADA Home Health Care. 

HealthKeeperz will continue to serve North Carolina communities with hospice care, home medical equipment and supplies, and case management services. 

“The transition of our home health services is an evolution in HealthKeeperz's commitment to providing quality health care to the southeastern region of North Carolina," said HealthKeeperz President Tim Brooks. "By partnering with BAYADA, we can concentrate on the areas of health care where we have long-term strategies to scale and innovate, such as hospice care. We are grateful for the continued trust placed in HealthKeeperz by our local communities, and we look forward to the positive impacts that BAYADA will bring alongside the HealthKeeperz team to our neighbors and friends.” 

HealthKeeperz, founded in 1966, is part of an integrated health system. It offers end-of-life care across North Carolina through a team of 150-plus caregivers. 

Per the agreement, HealthKeeperz’s Fayetteville and Laurinburg home health locations will transition to BAYADA locations, helping BAYADA, which is headquartered in Philadelphia, care for more clients across North Carolina. 

"BAYADA is thrilled at the opportunity to partner with HealthKeeperz to continue their strong commitment to the North Carolina community and to continue to grow in this region," said David Baiada, CEO of BAYADA. "We look forward to welcoming the HealthKeeperz Home Health staff and patients into the BAYADA family, and to work together through this mission-aligned partnership to continue to improve health care outcomes in our region." 

HealthKeeperz and BAYADA expect to complete the transition by the spring of 2023.
