Gentiva Health Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:GTIV) , the nation's largest provider of comprehensive home health services, has announced that it has named John N. Camperlengo as Vice President, Deputy General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer.

"With today's announcement, Gentiva continues its strong commitment to corporate compliance," said Chairman and CEO Ron Malone. "John inherits a compliance team and program that is widely viewed as a model for the homecare industry, and we intend to maintain and strengthen our leadership position in this important area."
