Olsten Corporation was founded in 1946 by William Olsten. The company grew through the 50s, 60s, and 70s, and in 1971, it began focusing on its health care division under the name Olsten Healthcare. In the 90s its health care division began acquiring other companies. The division acquired Upjohn Health Services, and after an acquisition of Lifetime Corporation, which included Office Angels, it became the largest provider of home healthcare services, operating as Olsten Kimberly QualityCare.〔 In 1995 Olsten Kimberly QualityCare launched CareCentrix, and a year later, the company entered the home infusion business by acquiring Quantum Health Resources.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.referenceforbusiness.com/history2/48/Gentiva-Health-Services-Inc.html#ixzz2sSwibpaw )〕 That same year it acquired NeuroCare Rehab Without Walls, and became the sole national provider for Cigna HealthCare. It also acquired Nurses House Call, and in 1997, it changed its name to Olsten Health Services. In 1999, Olsten Corporation split its healthcare division into an independent, publicly traded company, named Gentiva Health Services. In its first three years of independent operation, Gentiva launched its Gentiva Orthopedics, Gentiva Cardiopulmonary, and Safe Strides programs, it also sold its pharmaceutical services division to Accredo Health Inc.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.newsday.com/business/technology/gentiva-makes-415m-deal-1.458421 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://sec.edgar-online.com/2002/01/07/0000950162-02-000028/Section5.asp )〕 It also sold its health care staffing unit to InteliStaf Holdings Inc. and the Carlyle Group.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nytimes.com/2000/08/26/business/company-news-gentiva-health-services-to-sell-staffing-unit.html )〕 By 2010, it had acquired First HomeCare of Houston, Heritage Home Care Services, The Healthfield Group, Gilbert's Home Health and Hospice, Physicians Home Health Care and Hospice of Charleston.
