VitalCaring Expands Home Health and Hospice Footprint Through Acquisition of Carter Healthcare
Dallas, Texas — August 24, 2026 — VitalCaring today announced the acquisition of Carter Healthcare, expanding the organization’s home health and hospice presence in Ohio and West Virginia while strengthening existing operations in Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas and Missouri.
With this acquisition, VitalCaring now operates 89 home health locations and 40 hospice and palliative care locations, in addition to its Texas-based community care division.
VitalCaring provides home health, hospice, palliative, and community care services that help patients receive high-quality care in the place they call home. Led by a team of industry veterans, the organization is focused on delivering exceptional clinical care while supporting the people who make that care possible.
“Our mission at VitalCaring is to transform lives and foster hope through genuine caring,” said April Anthony, Chief Executive Officer of VitalCaring. “This acquisition allows us to serve more patients and families, enter new communities, and welcome more than 160 healthcare professionals to VitalCaring. We are excited to build on the strong foundation already in place and support these teams as they become part of our organization.”
Since its founding in 2021, VitalCaring has grown into one of the nation’s leading providers of home-based care. The addition of these locations expands the organization’s ability to support patients and families while creating opportunities to share best practices, invest in clinical excellence, and strengthen care delivery across its footprint.
Patients will continue receiving care from the clinicians and caregivers they know and trust while benefiting from the additional support and resources available through VitalCaring.
“We have tremendous respect for the teams joining VitalCaring and the relationships they have built in their communities,” Anthony said. “Together, we look forward to continuing that work and making an even greater impact for the patients and families we serve.”
