July 29, 2013 -  On July 29, 2013, Carter Healthcare closed on the purchase of Cole Home Healthcare of Houston, marking Carter's entrance into the Houston market.  Cole Home Healthcare of Houston was a part of Cole Health's network of services that also included outpatient therapy and rehab, with a special focus on pediatrics (read more about Cole here www.colehealth.com).  The acquisition of this agency broadens Carter's reach to now encompass  all the major metropolitan areas of Texas.  The next step will include Joint Commission accreditation of this agency.  Carter Healthcare welcomes all the former Cole patients and staff and will continue to strive to meet the high standards that Cole has set.
