ATLANTA, Sept. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gentiva Health Services, Inc. (Nasdaq: GTIV), a leading provider of comprehensive home health services, announced today that it has completed its acquisition of Rush Home Care, Inc. (d/b/a Magna Home Health), a part of the Rush Health System, located in central Mississippi and west central Alabama. The purchase was funded from Gentiva's existing cash reserves.

"We extend a warm welcome to all Magna Home Health employees and anticipate a smooth transition as we enter seven new counties requiring a certificate of need to participate in the delivery of home health services," said Gentiva CEO and President Tony Strange.
