“I am extremely thankful and excited to continue my 29-year journey with 3HC as President and CEO. When I began as a visiting nurse, I
knew almost immediately that home health and hospice care was my calling. Little did I know that the path was being set, and over the
years, doors would open with growth opportunities ultimately leading me to serve in this capacity. My vision for 3HC is to continue to be an industry leader in home health and hospice care, be recognized for organizational excellence, and support an environment to improve the quality of life for our team members and those we serve,” Whitley said.
