title: Creating a giant. Kindred, RehabCare deal would create largest post-acute healthcare services company in U.S.
abstract: Kindred's deal for RehabCare would create the U.S.' largest post-acute-care provider. Officials say the deal positions Kindred to benefit from Medicare's move toward bundled payments and will help accommodate patients whose needs are growing more intense. "There is an explosion of patients, unfortunately, that need multiple sites of service because they have very complex conditions," says Kindred CEO Paul Diaz, left.
