Post-acute care services that the Company provides include: (a) inpatient and outpatient rehabilitative services; (b) subacute care; (c) long-term care; (d) contract rehabilitation therapy services; (e) home health care services; (f) pharmacy and related services; (g) clinical laboratory services; (h) physician placement services, (i) non-invasive medical diagnostic services; (j) home respiratory supplies and services; (k) home infusion supplies and services; (l) hospice care and (m) assisted living care. Horizon's integrated post-acute health care system is intended to provide continuity of care for its patients and enable payors to contract with one provider to provide for virtually all of the patient's needs during the period following discharge from an acute care facility. In addition, as corollaries to, and complements of, this integrated post-acute care delivery system are the Company's owned physician practice and its physician practice management services.
