Five companies have submitted CON applications, the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services says in a public notice: Brunswick Community Hospital and Novant Health Inc.; Home Health and Hospice Care Inc.; BAYADA Home Health Care Inc.; Well Care TPM Inc.; and HealthView Capital Partners-FUND I.
