Bayada Home Health transfer to nonprofit will start next spring
Giving away a health-care business with operations in 22 states and five foreign countries is not easy.
The process will start in April and is expected to take 18 months to two years because it is a complicated process, Baiada said Wednesday.
Irish (The) and Ireland
By William E. Watson
Contacts between the Philadelphia region and Ireland began in the late seventeenth century, shortly after the creation of Penn’s colony. Long a part of the urban fabric of Philadelphia, Irish Catholics endured nativist assaults of the Bible Riots of 1844 and did not see one of their own become mayor until James H. J. Tate, who served from 1962 to 1972. By the twenty-first century, the Irish continued to exert significant cultural and political influence in the region, especially in South and Northeast Philadelphia and in surrounding suburban counties.

CRANBURY, N.J., Aug. 15, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Amicus Therapeutics (Nasdaq:FOLD) announced that the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has approved the oral precision medicine Galafold for long-term treatment of adults and adolescents aged 16 years and older with a confirmed diagnosis of Fabry disease (alpha-galactosidase A deficiency) and who have an amenable mutation.
