Health care provider

Generally so many safety net hospital are closing because, there is simply not enough funding to bear the rising population of the United States. Over thirty-three percent over the population are uninsured for various reasons. In today’s society there are so many single parent families that cannot afford to pay for private insurance, so as a result they rely on government assistance such as Medicaid, All-kids, and Medicare. According to an article I read in the New York Times magazine, Grady Memorial Hospital is known for teaching and treating populations affected by illness.

Hospital to Home

Home care, (also referred to as domiciliary care or social care), is health care or supportive care provided in the patient's home by healthcare professionals (often referred to as home health care or formal care). Often, the term home care is used to distinguish non-medical care or custodial care, which is care that is provided by persons who are not nurses, doctors, or other licensed medical personnel, as opposed to home health care that is provided by licensed personnel. [2] Licensed personnel and other persons who assist the individual may be referred to as caregivers[3].
