Your patients are not alone. About 85% of older adults have at least one chronic illness and 56% have at least two. Building the right support team can make living with a chronic disease easier. We’d like to be a part of your patient's team.
We offer several specialty care programs as part of our mission to meet patient needs. When your patient's choose Amedisys home health or hospice care, here are our unique offerings:
Home Health Specialty Programs
Your patients aren't the only ones who can benefit from home health. Amedisys can ease the burden on you and your staff by managing the complex needs of your patients with chronic diseases, such as heart failure, stroke, COPD, cancer, diabetes and through our specialty programs.
-

Get the education, support and tools you need to manage your COPD symptoms at home. We'll talk about your goals for COPD therapy and make a plan to reach them.
