RICHMOND, Va. – Owens & Minor, Inc. will change its name to Accendra Health, Inc. with an anticipated effective date of Dec. 31.
The name change affects only the name of the parent corporation and is intended to better reflect the company’s strategic direction and future organizational focus as a leader in the home-based care market. The company will continue to use and operate under the Apria and Byram Healthcare brands.
Earlier this year, Owens & Minor signed a definitive agreement to sell its Products & Healthcare Services (P&HS) segment, in a move that the company said supports its transformation into a pure-play home-based care platform, centered around its Patient Direct business.
“The renaming of our organization is another milestone in the strategic transformation of our company as a leading, pure play home-based care business that puts the patient first while consistently delivering long-term profitable growth,” said Edward A. Pesicka, president & CEO. “Our commitment to providing the highest-quality offerings to patients throughout the country remains unchanged. By becoming Accendra Health, we mark the next exciting chapter in our evolution as a company.”
In connection with the name change, the company will change its ticker symbol to ACH and the company’s common stock is expected to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the new name and ticker symbol on Jan. 2, 2026. Also on Jan. 2, the company will launch its new website, www.accendrahealth.com.
