Hemet, California –
May 21, 2012 – Dr. Kali P. Chaudhuri & The KPC Group is pleased to
announce the acquisition of Ramona VNA & Hospital and a name change of the

Board of Directors and the Attorney General. An advisory Board will be
established for the new entity consisting of community business leaders.

professional continuing education, community health fairs, seminars and

Patients presently on services will continue to receive care
from this clinicians that they have come to know and trust. The executive
leadership team has not changed and the agency philosophy to embrace the
highest standards, values, and ethics will remain the same. “We are proud of
our history and embracing our future. We are pleased to continue to provide you
the best care by the best staff”, said Carol Wood,
President/CEO.
Inland Empire Home Health & Hopsice (formerly known as
Ramona VNA & Hospice) is now an affiliate of The KPC Group. The agency has
contracts with most senior health plans, is Medicare and MediCal certified and
will continue to accept patients from all local providers. “Nothing has changed
as far as our ability to accept patients,” said Wood. “It has been a smooth and
transparent transition. Our standards, ethics, staff members and dedication to
the community are the same with this sale. We have proudly served this
community for nearly thirty (30) years, and we look forward to continuing to
provide quality home health and hospice services as part of the integrated
healthcare delivery system.”
