Mergers and acquisitions are in the home health news frequently. This past Monday’s news of Lewis Computers sale to HEALTHCAREfirst impacts a large number of Louisiana providers that use Lewis software.
First about Lewis and HEALTHCAREfirst. The joint press release from Lewis and Healthcare First quoted long time industry leader Jeff Lewis. “The biggest advantage of this new arrangement is how it will benefit our customers. Lewis customers will still have the same solutions they depend on and so will HEALTHCAREfirst’s – but both will now have stronger products and even better support from the combined company.”
HEALTHCAREfirst President and CEO, Bobby Robertson, has been a participant in HomeCare Association of Louisiana events for many years. “We are thrilled with the opportunity to create the industry’s strongest and most complete solution provider. As with HEALTHCAREfirst, Lewis has great people and very unique offerings that will allow our combined company to fully enable agencies of all sizes to focus on patient care instead of paperwork,” says HEALTHCAREfirst President and CEO Bobby Robertson. “We fully intend to make the most of this opportunity. Customers of both companies will continue to receive exactly what they expect and need while seeing their solutions grow even stronger as our technology and services continue to advance.”
