State of the Industry 

Medicare reimbursement changes, increased gov't oversight, increased cost pressures and increased competition from large chain organizations are the reality of home care and hospice going forward. Gone are the days of focusing on the patient and letting the finances take care of themselves. Patient care is still the reason we are all in this industry, but efficient and knowledgeable management is required to successfully support quality patient care and keep the doors open.  That is where PHMC comes in. We provide the tools and support that medium and small agencies need to succeed. 

Core Belief 

• Home care and hospice are vital segments of the health care continuum.
• Medium and small providers are the backbone of the home care and hospice industries.  
• The label of "medium" or "small" does not mean "less professional" or unable to compete with "large"
• PHCM can help any home care agency preserve & grow their long term equity value.
