About Northwestern Illinois Home Health

At Northwestern Illinois Home Health, we are more than an organization of healthcare professionals we are proud members of communities across northwestern Illinois. Quality service is our mission. And to us, service means getting to know our patients on a personal level.

LHC Group, Inc. is a national provider of in-home healthcare services and innovations for communities around the nation, offering quality, value-based healthcare to patients primarily within the comfort and privacy of their home or place of residence. The company's 29,000 employees deliver home health, hospice, home- and community-based services, and facility-based care in 38 states and the District of Columbia reaching 68 percent of the U.S. population aged 65 and older.

LHC Group is the preferred in-home healthcare partner for more than 400 leading hospitals around the country. Working with our hospital and health system partners, we help seamlessly transition patients from the acute to the post-acute setting bringing a patient-centered continuum of care to the communities we serve together, reducing avoidable readmissions, improving clinical outcomes, and enhancing operational performance.

Our company was founded in 1994 as a single home health agency in small-town America, with a mission to serve the neediest and most vulnerable members of the community. Those values and priorities still form the core of our company culture.

Our focus is on moving our industry forward. We encourage and nurture a culture of innovation, and we are determined to lead our industry and our peers in finding ways to adapt, overcome obstacles, and improve service in a healthcare system that is always changing. We will improve the quality of life in the United States by transforming the delivery of healthcare services.

We remain committed to providing high-quality service and driving the best industry practices at an individual and community level. Most importantly, our people at the local level are always empowered to make decisions that benefit their community.

Our unique culture is an indispensable part of our reputation and drives our sense of accountability as a leading healthcare provider. It informs and influences our decisions and, by default, the way our entire organization operates each and every day. Most importantly, it is a legacy that each and every one of us is responsible for preserving and passing on.

As we represent LHC Group, we will be judged by how we conduct ourselves, how we treat the people we touch, and the quality of our service. The duty to live up to our shared standard of excellence is a profound responsibility. It's a responsibility we are prepared to meet and exceed thanks to a unique company culture that started 25 years ago , with a few concerned citizens, and became ingrained at every level of a leading national healthcare company.
