The Ascension at Home program serving Birmingham has been recognized as one of the organization’s top three home health programs in the country. It was named a Compassus Program of Distinction for its performance throughout 2023 during the company’s Excellence Awards ceremony in Phoenix, Arizona, last week. Ascension at Home is part of the Compassus family. Together they offer home health, infusion therapy, palliative and hospice care in more than 250 locations across 29 states.
Compassus’ Excellence Awards are rooted in the principles that inform the company’s mission and services and recognize programs that exceed expectations in providing high-quality patient care. The Birmingham program serves patients and families in Bibb, Blount, Chilton, Jefferson, Shelby, Tuscaloosa and Walker counties.
“The Birmingham program has earned distinction as a top three home health program thanks to the team’s commitment to advancing our mission of advancing well-being and honoring quality of life,” said Compassus Chief Operating Officer Laura Templeton. “These hardworking individuals help patients and families manage health conditions safely and effectively at home, which is so important as our population ages. This accomplishment reflects their commitment to patient-centered care, and I’m proud of their outstanding service.”
Compassus provides home-based care services including home health, infusion therapy, palliative and hospice care. The company’s nearly 6,000 team members serve more than 100,000 patients annually.
