Dear «Contact»:

As your healthcare and business partner, I want to share with you some important news regarding our company. SunDance Rehabilitation’s holding (parent) company, Sun Healthcare Group, Inc., entered into an agreement on June 20, 2012 with Genesis HealthCare for the acquisition of Sun. Attached is the press release announcing the transaction.

Over the course of the last 22 years, SunDance Rehabilitation has grown into one of the nation’s leading rehabilitation providers across the healthcare continuum. SunDance has built a reputation as a clinically focused, resident centered care provider. I am very proud of our team and its ability to provide the highest possible outcomes and results across our many constituents and this announcement marks the next exciting step in this journey.

In case you are unfamiliar with Genesis, like Sun Healthcare, they too operate a large and successful rehabilitation company – Genesis Rehabilitation Services. The result of this transaction will be a merger of two strong teams, enhancing the talents and resources of the combined entity. The combined company will be positioned to provide scale and resources to invest in and prepare for the future.

Over the next 4-6 months, both companies will be operating separately, but working hard at the corporate level to complete the requirements of the transaction and ensure a smooth transition for our residents, employees and business partners.

In the interim, please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Thank you for your support and I look forward to our continued partnership.
