Maxim Healthcare Services agreed to sell its home healthcare business to Aveanna Healthcare, an Atlanta-based home healthcare provider.

The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter, subject to the receipt of regulatory clearances and other customary closing conditions. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Maxim is headquartered in Columbia, Md., and ranks sixth on Staffing Industry Analysts’ list of largest healthcare staffing firms in the US; however, its staffing services and population health and wellness divisions are not part of the agreement.

“Our home healthcare division will benefit from a greater platform for growth and success in delivering quality, compassionate care, while allowing us to focus on our healthcare staffing and population health and wellness businesses,” Maxim President and CEO Bill Butz said.
