A History of Treating You Like Family
From our beginnings as a non-profit health care company with two staff members—a part-time nurse and part time physical therapist—3HC has grown to be one of the largest of its kind in North Carolina and is recognized nationwide as a leader in the home care industry.
3HC Home Health and Hospice Care is accredited by ACHC (Accreditation Commission for Health Care), a designation shared by only the best providers, in addition to being Medicare and Medicaid certified.
We have a long tradition of helping our patients by providing the highest quality of care in an environment that makes them feel like family.
