Interim HealthCare Inc, Announces New Hospice Franchise Offering
Sunrise, Florida (PRWEB) August 10, 2016 -- Interim HealthCare Inc., the nation’s leading home health care, senior care, hospice and healthcare staffing franchise, announced today that it has launched a new stand-alone franchise offering for hospice services. The growth in demand and demographics for hospice care at home to care for those facing the final stages of their life, spurred the development of the new franchise offering.
“Interim HealthCare was the first health care franchise company in the United States, so it makes sense that we are the one to now offer the full continuum of franchise offerings,” said Kathleen Gilmartin, CEO and President of Interim HealthCare Inc. “We are the most experienced healthcare franchise company with a national hospice support team that is beyond compare.”
Interim HealthCare Inc. has successfully guided hospice growth within the Interim home health care network since 2008 with 16 franchisees operating 35 hospices across the country today. Current trends support the company’s strategic expansion program, with hospice ranked one of the fastest growing segments in the health care continuum. Spending for hospice care was $9.5 billion in 2006, $15.1 billion in 2013 and is projected to increase to $45 billion by year 2020. The United States Census Bureau projects the population aged 65 and over will rise to 53.7 million or 16.5% of the total population by year 2020. The growing number of Medicare Beneficiaries will be a driving force for end of life care provided at home, ensuring a strong market for Interim HealthCare Hospice.
“Today, a hospice franchise program from Interim HealthCare can enhance an existing Medicare Certified Home Care business or provide an outstanding opportunity for new health care entrepreneurs,” comments Michael Bohannon, Vice President of Franchise Development. “We provide our franchise partners with one of the strongest programs available in the industry. Helping business owners leverage their experience with our unequaled corporate support is why the average tenure of our franchise owners’ is 20 years.”
