As part of the divestiture, 65 Home Health Depot (HHD) employees located in Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Texas will join NSM. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
HHD's Complex Rehab Mobility Division has been recognized nationally. In 2013, HME News named HHD the best complex rehabilitation technology provider in the nation.

NSM will continue the tradition of top notch service. There couldn’t be a better fit for our seating and mobility team.”
This divestiture by HHD will allow HHD to further focus on its growing complex respiratory operations and hospice medical equipment services.
