Home Health

Home health consists of specialized healthcare services and activities delivered in the comfort of a patient's own home. Trained medical professionals, working under the direct supervision of the patient's physician, deliver a wide range of medical, social and therapeutic treatments that help patients return to healthy and active lives. 


Home Health – Joint Venture Partner

The emergence of new medical treatments and technologies has made home health a viable, cost-effective option for people recovering from illness, disease, injury or surgery. Howard Memorial Hospital offers home health services through our partner, Southwest Arkansas Homecare, a member of LHC Group. With this service, families can keep medical costs down, and HMH can support the healing process by allowing patients to recover in the comfort of their home. Ask your doctor about home health, or contact Elite Homecare at 870-845-8206 or toll free 1-800-465-5663
