Pathways Healthcare is a leading, physician- and nurse practitioner-led home health and hospice organization, committed to redefining recovery through comprehensive, patient-centered care.

As one of the first home health agencies to adopt AI-assisted documentation, we're investing in tools that give our clinicians time back – saving 5 to 10 hours per week! We have made a deliberate decision not to raise our productivity expectations, so the patients and clinicians win in the end.
