AdaptHealth (NASDAQ:AHCO) executives outlined the company’s second-quarter performance, portfolio changes and plans to focus capital on sleep, respiratory and home medical equipment businesses during a Canaccord conference discussion.
Foster said the diabetes operation represented about $600 million of business and had initially been stabilized after facing declining growth and operational issues.
The remaining amount is expected to be addressed through growth and tuck-in acquisitions in the company’s sleep and respiratory businesses during the second year.
