Helios Sells Wisconsin SNF Portfolio (and a Home Health Business)

Still less than a year after forming Helios Healthcare Advisors, Bill Janis and Mario Wilson are keeping the closings coming with a skilled nursing sale in Wisconsin, their first in the state (with Helios) but certainly not their last.
