In late June, Brentwood-based LifePoint Health entered into a definitive agreement with Kindred Healthcare to acquire the Louisville-based specialty hospital company. In combination, the company will create a leading community healthcare platform with a full array of complementary services across the healthcare continuum, standardized bedside care, opportunities to develop and expand critical behavioral health services across the country, and an investment of $1.5 billion over the next three years to improve care in the communities the combined company will serve.
