Encompass Health Corp. (NYSE: EHC) will appoint Crissy B. Carlisle, the company’s chief investor relations officer, as the new CFO of its Home Health and Hospice operations. Carlisle will transition to the CFO spot after Encompass identifies successor for her current position.
Encompass Home Health and Hospice is in a state of flux. The company is in the midst of a strategic repositioning of that segment of their business, including a potential spin off or sale. The company plans to update investors on the repositioning in late July. Thus far, the home health and hospice provider has given no indication of what their final decision on the repositioning will be.
Last week, Encompass announced that Barbara Jacobsmeyer would take the helm as CEO of the home health and hospice segment. The previous CEO, April Anthony, stepped down June 18 in a planned departure.
“Crissy’s financial expertise and her familiarity with our business operations and strategy will be invaluable as we continue to deliver on our mission to provide high-quality, cost-effective home health care and hospice services to our patients,” Jacobsmeyer said.
Carlisle came to Encompass in 2005 as director of Securities and Exchange Commission reporting and was quickly promoted to vice president of financial reporting. In 2015, she became the company’s chief investor relations officer. She previously worked as a director at FTI Consulting and as a manager in PricewaterhouseCoopers’ audit practice.
The Encompass hospice segment earned $50.6 million in Q1 2021, a 5.4% increase from $48 million during the prior year’s quarter. The company operates 82 hospice and 241 home health locations across 39 states in the United States and Puerto Rico.
“Crissy is an exceptionally talented leader with whom I have worked side-by-side since becoming CEO,” said Mark J. Tarr, president and CEO of Encompass Health. “Crissy’s more than 25 years of financial advisory and accounting experience combined with her deep understanding of the business and the industry make her ideally suited to take on the CFO role.”
