With the 65 and over population in the United States expected to grow from 35 million in the year 2000 to 88.5 million in 2050, LHC Group sees a future where more individuals will need the high quality and cost effective care we provide through our home health, hospice, private duty and long term acute care service lines. And LHC Group will be there to provide it.
With everything we do, we are guided by a simple code: putting the people we care for first. Our employees live by this code, and by doing so they have created a culture within our company that is focused on achieving our mission of providing exceptional care and unparalleled service to the patients and families who place their trust in us.
Our commitment to excellence is shown every day through the actions of our employees and caregivers. As one Chief Executive Officer at a long-standing hospital joint venture put it, "I'll never forget the touching letter I got from one of our patients. She wrote about how her road was flooded with no way for a car to get in or out, and how a home health nurse from LHC Group parked her car and walked through mud and muck for over a mile to get to her home to check on her. A simple call might have sufficed for most businesses, but it wasn't good enough for an LHC Group nurse. And I've never forgotten that."
