Amedisys
Amedisys was founded by William F. Borne, who served as its first CEO and remains Chairman Emeritus. The firm built its position through direct operation of home health and hospice locations rather than through fund commitments or third-party asset management. Amedisys deploys capital into its owned care centers and related real estate. Its activities center on Healthcare Services delivery in patient homes, with additional holdings that include corporate aircraft and a Baton Rouge headquarters building. Geographic reach covers multiple states through its care centers network. The 2025 acquisition by UnitedHealth Group transferred ownership to Optum while preserving the operating platform. The company maintains a small set of named relationships, including a long-standing partnership with the Dream Foundation. Additional offices operate in Nashville. No public headcount or AUM figures appear in available records. The 2025 transaction constitutes the sole dated operational event from the last 24 months. Amedisys functions as a wholly owned subsidiary following the UnitedHealth acquisition, shifting its governance from independent public-company status to integration inside a larger insurer's operating structure.
