Joining Hands for Greater Impact - Esperanza Health Centers

Ask a hospital patient to name their #1 wish, and most will say: “I wish I were home right now.” These days, as an increasing number of hospitals and health systems rethink their care delivery models, that wish is starting to come true. Many care providers these days are considering an acute hospital-at-home approach as one of the safest and one of the most effective care options for certain patients and conditions. As a result, the hospital-at-home care model is emerging as a promising and transformative approach to improve patient outcomes and experience.

Join us to hear how Palomar Health’s transformational “Acute Hospital Care at Home Initiative” is delivering great care to select patients in the environment they like best: their own homes. Palomar’s clinical operations redesign was ready in just six months, and has already been granted waiver approval from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
