Bostonbased Home Health Care agency with the largest staff in the region with 2016 inner city Award Winners recognized as one of the Fastest Growing urban businesses. And the leading professor of the association in the region with their annual excellence and service to the community award. We now welcome to aye hus Revista Hispana ce than my ole red sox. I am having a great year. The smile says it all. I cant complain. Before we get anywhere take me through. I cant help but not know about how Garden Health care because im right in jp and i see it every morning. But for those who see your blue and white vehicles all across boston and lawrence and springfield tell me what it is in your elevator pitch, agency, so what we do is we were some sort of a bridge between the hospitals and the patients when they go home, when they leave a hospital. And our nurses what they do, they come in and follow up with the doctors actually order and so we take care of them on, you know, physical therapy or nursing assistance or humble home base providing services at home. But youre different. There is a big diffee and i think one of them is the culture and the language, right. Well that is really what set us apart from everybody else. So what we do, our staff is not only cultural competent they really understand not only the language but they understand what our patients do when they go home, what they eat, where they go to church and stuff like that is really what makes us what we are today. Now you have the largest staffing in the region. Youre obviously located in boston, ive seen you up in lawrence, but youre also in the westernert paof the state as well. Yes, we opened up in springfield in 2011 and springfield has been a really good place for us. It is such a Diverse Community and so we have puerto ricans, we have dominicans, we have a good source of people from every part of the state and being in springfield actually us. Ive known you in your previous lives, so tell me what inspired you and what year you started because this is a fairly new company. My background is finance, as you know. I was in the bank and business for 12 years. And it was really the financial meltdown that we experienced in 2008. Back in 2008 i was the helm of the Mortgage Business and to an end as we all know it. And then im trying to figure out what im going to do next. Homecare was really not in my radar. I never thought that i was going to be preparing people, helpling people, elderly and disabled people to get you know good lives better; however, i got interested after a conversation with my wife and she mentioned, she is a nurse by theway a visiting nurse. And she mentioned that services as they should. And thats not your wife on camera. And neither is ena, so i know we have photos on that was at the alpha. But i did want to give these photos the context we have up there. Ill let you continue with the story because i know we have a photo in the wife and it is the one in the blue, not the purple.
