BOSTON, June 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Unidine President and CEO Richard Schenkel today announced the acquisition of Healthcare Service Solutions, Inc. (HSS) by Unidine Corporation. HSS, headquartered in Columbia, MD, is the leading provider of food and dining management services to senior service, adolescent and rehabilitation facilities in the mid-Atlantic serving the markets of Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C. The agreement creates a formidable player in the food and dining management business with over 50 clients along the East Coast from Maine to Virginia.
“The new organization strengthens Unidine’s position by expanding our geographical reach. HSS brings significant strengths to this partnership including a philosophy of highly personalized service and an exclusive focus on food and dining management services. These match exactly with Unidine’s mission,” said Schenkel.
Healthcare Service Solutions executives Richard “Rich” Valway II, founder, and John Ramey III will stay on as senior executives of Unidine, and will lead the business from HSS’ current location in Columbia, MD. “Due to the similarities of the two organizations, we expect a seamless transition for our existing clients. Furthermore, we’ll be better able to serve the market by taking advantage of Unidine’s additional resources. Having a local presence in the mid-Atlantic will further serve to differentiate Unidine from other national competitors while continuing the high touch approach that characterizes our business philosophy,” said Valway.
