Kindred Healthcare To Close Acute Care Hospitals In Dallas & Fort Worth

Kindred Healthcare announced the closing of long-term acute care hospitals in Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas as part of a consolidation. The closing will affect 381 employees. The Louisville, Kentucky-based specialty hospital operator also will close a Houston-area location in Spring, eliminating an additional 160 jobs.
Kindred described the North Texas closings as a strategic decision. The hospitals will close by March 15, 2020; however, the organization will work with consumers needing care after the North Texas hospitals close to relocate them to other facilities.
Kindred was acquired in 2018 by Humana Inc. and investment firms TPG . . .
