Wellforce – the system that includes Tufts Medical Center, Circle Health, and MelroseWakefield Healthcare (formerly Hallmark Health) – announced last week that it was adding Home Health Foundation to the system.
Home Health Foundation provides home health and hospice services in 110 cities and towns in Northeastern Massachusetts, Southern New Hampshire, and Southern Maine.
The agreement has to be approved by the state’s Health Policy Commission (HPC).
At the end of July, South Shore Health Express – which South Shore Health System acquired in February – submitted a material change notice to the HPC announcing that it would acquire “Health Express” – a limited liability company that operates physician offices providing walk-in urgent medical care in Abington, Kingston, Pembroke, Plymouth, Quincy, West Roxbury, and Weymouth. (A Health Express urgent care center in Raynham is not included in the transaction.)
