Steward Home Care and Hospice has been acquired by Dallas-based AccentCare Inc. as of December 31. The acquisition will not impact Steward Home Care’s services, which serve more than 14,000 patients in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

Steward Home Care and Hospice was previously owned by Steward Health Care, the largest private for profit healthcare network that is led by physicians. Headquartered in Dallas, Steward operates 36 hospitals in the U.S. and Malta, employing 40,000 healthcare professionals.

“AccentCare brings clinical and operational expertise and resources to Steward Home Care and Hospice that will benefit our patients and members in the communities we serve,” said Ruben Jose King-Shaw Jr., Chief Strategy Officer and President of Steward Health Care Network, via release.
