The Halifax Group has completed, in partnership with management, an investment in Interim HealthCare, a home healthcare franchisor. The current senior executive team of Interim HealthCare will continue to serve in their management roles.
“We are pleased to enter into a partnership with Halifax,” said Interim HealthCare’s President and CEO, Kathleen Gilmartin. “We have enjoyed consistent growth over the past several years and think Halifax’s financial capabilities and experience in both healthcare and franchising will be invaluable to our business. It was evident from our first meeting that Halifax brought a unique and well-informed set of skills, resources and shared strategy about how to execute our strategic plan.”

The company was founded in 1996 and is based in Sunrise, FL (www.interimhealthcare.com).
“Halifax has a tradition of partnering with strong management, and we have been impressed with Interim’s team. Their vision and hard work has resulted in a company whose scale and reputation for quality sets Interim apart from its competitors,” said Ken Doyle, Managing Director at Halifax.
