FRISCO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Addus HomeCare Corporation (Nasdaq: ADUS) (the “Company”), a provider of home care services, announced today that Heather Dixon, President and Chief Operating Officer, is no longer with the Company. Brad Bickham, former President and Chief Operating Officer at Addus, has agreed to return as Chief Operating Officer on an interim basis, effective immediately, for a period of one year.

“On behalf of the Board and the entire company, I want to thank Heather for her dedication and leadership, and for her contributions to Addus during her time with the Company both as a director and more recently as part of executive management. She has been an important member of the team, and we are grateful for her partnership. We also appreciate her commitment to our mission, which will continue in her absence.
