DOTHAN, Ala. – The CEO of Encompass Health’s home health and hospice business is stepping down as the Birmingham, Ala.-based post-acute provider continues to review strategic alternatives for the business.
April Anthony will step down as CEO of home health and hospice in mid June. During her six-year tenure in the role, Ms. Anthony grew the segment’s revenue from $400 million to $1.1 billion and oversaw substantial expansions.
Ms. Anthony’s departure comes as Encompass’ board of directors continues to review strategic alternatives for the home health and hospice service, according to an April 2 news release. Encompass started exploring a range of options for its home health and hospice division, including an initial public offering, spinoff, merger or sale, in December 2020. Encompass doesn’t have a timeframe for when the review will be complete.
