As a result, Mehiläinen will become Finland's largest private provider of mental health rehabilitation services for municipalities and hospital districts.","headline":"Mehiläinen to be Finland's largest producer of mental health rehabilitation services","body":"HCN, established in 1988, provides home care services for those requiring mental health rehabilitation and enhanced home care for those of advanced age in the Helsinki region and Uusimaa and Häme provinces. HCN currently runs 14 service units and offers a total of 459 resident places. Together with HCN, Mehiläinen will be able to provide a unique range of services for those undergoing mental health rehabilitation. The range of services available for ageing persons in need of challenging psychiatric or physical care will also strengthen and expand.\n\n- We are delighted with the agreement concluded with HCN, says Matti Bergendahl, CEO of Mehiläinen. We believe that this acquisition - the largest in our history - offers incredible potential for developing new forms of care that will provide long-lasting support for customers. HCN's services complement our current services and network extremely well. HCN is a pioneer in its field, and has performed particularly well in safety issues - as is evidenced by its receipt of the field's most prestigious safety prize.\n\n- Together with HCN we will be able to offer those customers requiring mental health rehabilitation a selection of services ranging from intensive round-the-clock care to supported forms of living aimed at  promoting the ability to live independently. Thus, residents and municipalities will be able to trust that our services fulfil all the personal needs of residents, says Teemu Annala, Vice President at Mehiläinen Municipal Services. Strong rehabilitation expertise at all service levels is at the core of our operations, continues Annala.\n\n- The merger with Mehiläinen is a very welcome solution for us. Mehiläinen's values and strong emphasis on quality accord perfectly with our own views. In the future we can focus even better on producing and developing our services with the support of the Mehiläinen Group, says Marie Pulkkinen, Chairman of the Board of HCN.\n\nUpon the conclusion of the transaction, HCN's operations will continue as before and all employees will be transferred to Mehiläinen. Riina Helenius, who has been CEO of HCN, has been appointed Vice President of Mehiläinen's mental health services, responsible for HCN's operations, among others.","issuer":"Ambea","time":"2010-06-21 14:37:42","language":"en","cat_id":"","files":{"name":"HCN","filename":"201006212289-2.pdf","location":"http:\/\/investors.ambea.se\/files\/press\/ambea\/201006212289-2.pdf","mimetype":"application\/pdf","filesize":14873,"filetype":"pdf"}}]})
