Legacy LifePoint Health, LLC and Kindred Healthcare, LLC announced plans to establish a new healthcare company operating under the name ScionHealth upon closing of their previously announced transaction. Headquartered in Louisville, ScionHealth will consist of 79 hospital campuses in 25 states, including Kindred?s 61 long-term acute care hospitals and 18 of LifePoint?s community hospitals and associated health systems. These facilities are well-aligned in terms of operational and strategic approach, and together they will form a strong and cohesive system with unique and compelling opportunities for growth. ScionHealth will be led by a management team drawing from both LifePoint and Kindred. Rob Jay, who currently serves as executive vice president of integrated operations at LifePoint, will serve as the Chief Executive Officer of ScionHealth. At the close of the transaction, LifePoint will combine its 65+ remaining hospital campuses as well as its network of physician practices and outpatient centers with Kindred?s rehabilitation and behavioral health businesses. This will further establish LifePoint as a leading diversified healthcare delivery network focused on providing high quality, integrated, community-based care at sites of care across the healthcare continuum. LifePoint will continue to be headquartered in Nashville, and David Dill will remain its president and CEO. LifePoint and ScionHealth will both be well capitalized businesses focused on growth and grounded in commitments to outstanding patient care and quality outcomes. The companies will have separate leadership and boards of directors. Each ScionHealth hospital will operate under the same name it does, and their communities will continue receiving quality care delivered by the providers they know and trust. By prioritizing care at the bedside, embracing collaboration, and investing in innovative services and technology, the companies will continue to advance clinical and compliance excellence, make healthcare more accessible and support healthier communities.
