Kno-Wal-Lin Home Care and Hospice
Again Designated a Top Home Care Agency

For the third consecutive year, Kno-Wal-Lin Home Care and Hospice has been named to the 2008 HomeCare Elite, a compilation of the most successful Medicare-certified home healthcare providers in the United States. This annual review identifies the top-performing 25 percent of agencies.

"The 2008 HomeCare Elite winners exemplify a commitment to providing their patients with optimum care while performing at the highest level," said Nancy Buller, senior director of marketing communications at OCS, Inc.

The criteria for being named an agency in the top 25 percent in the United States are quality of care, quality improvement and financial performance measures. OCS is the market leader in healthcare information solutions.

Donna DeBlois, RN, Kno-Wal-Lin executive director, credits collaboration and teamwork among the field staff and the administrative staff with the company's ability to rank as one of the HomeCare Elite.

"We have worked hard at Kno-Wal-Lin to coordinate our practices and technology to make it easier for all of our employees to work toward the same two goals: providing the best care for our patients and making Kno-Wal-Lin a great place to work," said DeBlois.
