This acquisition, which is anticipated to close on November 1, 2009, is not expected to add materially to LHC Group's earnings in 2009.
Keith Myers, president and CEO of LHC Group, said: "We believe Feliciana Home Health complements our existing operations in the Baton Rouge area and will serve as a catalyst for us to significantly expand our market presence in the most rapidly growing territory by population in the state of Louisiana.
"For those patients, family members and providers who have entrusted your care or the care of your family members or patients to Feliciana Home Health, please know that Feliciana Home Health will continue to operate under the same name and with the same employees and management following the transaction."
