HOW YOU'LL MAKE A DIFFERENCE: At Alternate Solutions Health Network, we care for patients where they spend the majority of their time – in their homes. Today we care for patients who need skilled home care and hospice services. You won't find our brand in many places because we partner with health systems, jointly running home health and hospice agencies that use their brand. This is part of our strategy. By being part of the health system team, we can ensure each patient has a well-coordinated care plan that remains consistent whether the patient is seeing their primary care physician, receiving treatment in a hospital, or under our care in the home.
