"Both Companies provide exceptional care through teams of dedicated employees, consistently delivering peace of mind to patients and families. We're excited about the opportunity to build something special."

"The Compassionate and Altus acquisitions are highly complementary and provide a solid foundation off which Halcyon will be able to further build upon through additional acquisitions," said Jay Rose, Principal at HEP. "We look forward to supporting and funding additional growth."
