History & Timeline

Central Georgia Health System founded CareSouth on November 1, 1995 with the purchase of a large home healthcare company which had a successful 25 year history. Two distinct lines of business evolved from CareSouth's infancy. The first was the direct delivery of patient care and the second was the delivery of business services to others that owned homecare agencies.

In 1998 the executive management team working with a Washington, D.C. based venture capital group, Capitol Partners, LLC, acquired the company from Central Georgia Health System which enabled both of CareSouth's business lines to grow.

Today, CareSouth has two principal operating divisions:

1. operation and management of home health agencies owned by the Company;
   
   and
   
   
2. management of and supply of business services to home health agencies owned by third parties.

The Company owns fifteen Medicare certified home health agencies. These agencies are located in Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and California, have thirty-four locations from which they operate, and generate approximately $52 million dollars in revenue each year.

The senior management team is led by Rick Griffin, President & CEO and John Southern, CFO.
