Health care services provided within a patient’s home has become one of the fastest growing health care options in the United States. In-home patient care saves money and other resources by allowing patients to avoid inpatient health care settings. More importantly, patients are usually more comfortable at home surrounded by family and friends who give them the love and support they need to cope.

Every November, we honor thousands of home health and hospice professionals across the nation for the key role they play in our health care system. We celebrate those who have chosen to use their skills and talents to serve the homebound and dying. Their work is noble and deserves our respect and admiration.
