Home Health and Hospice Care - 3HC - is a private, not-for-profit agency providing health care to residents of Eastern North Carolina.
Description:
3HC is a community oriented service organization. Patients will be treated with respect, compassion and kindness. Care will be provided to persons who have insurance, persons who are able to pay, and persons who are unable to pay. Inasmuch as possible, needed care will never be withheld because of inability to pay. A sliding income scale will be the method used to determine ability/inability to pay. 3HC has nine clinical offices and a 12-bed inpatient hospice facility, Kitty Askins Hospice Center located in Goldsboro, NC.
History:
Home Health and Hospice Care was founded in July 1981, as Mount Olive Home Health in Mount Olive, North Carolina. In the years since, the private, 501(c)(3), not-for-profit health care company has grown into one of the largest of its kind in North Carolina and is recognized nationwide as a leader in the home care industry.
The measure of its first years was recorded in the company's patient data. In 1981, after two months of operation, the company's staff had made 99 home visits. The figures for the 2000 - 2001 fiscal year were:
93,215 home health visits;
482,757 hours of service;
18,424 days of hospice care;
3,961 in-patient days of care at Kitty Askins Hospice Center
From a staff of three in 1981, the company in 2000 - 2001 employed over 700 employees.
As 3HC enters the 21st Century, its Board envisioned ambitious goals. The company added to its reputation as a leader in comprehensive hospice care. For example, it expanded, in 2000, its bereavement services with its Wings! Camp for Children and work with the Angel Foundation for adults. 3HC continued to emphasize the quality of its care, achieving accreditation with commendation in 1995 and imposing a comprehensive Compliance Plan in 1999. It implemented in 2001, a plan to deal with the growing, national nursing shortage and a Development Program to increase charitable contributions. It continued to look for new, westward markets. President Withrow, at the end of 2000 - 2001 said, "There will always be a need for home health services, and 3HC will always strive to be among the nation's best providers of those services."
