Clearwater, Fla.
Lincare Holdings has acquired some assets of Home Oxygen 2-U, a Lincare spokesman confirmed.
About 70 employees at Home Oxygen’s call center in Lawrence, Kan., were laid off, though workers were told that Lincare may have new positions opening up during the next several months, the Lawrence Journal-World reported.
Home Oxygen 2-U — launched by Bill Kennedy, who founded Rotech Healthcare and later sold it in 1997 — runs consumer cable TV advertisements for home oxygen filling systems. The center connects callers with the nearest Home Oxygen 2-U location.
Lincare officials offered no comment on the transaction.
