Upstate HomeCare serves the greater Upstate New York area, with services spanning the age spectrum from infants to adults. All clinical staff are licensed in their particular fields and are chosen for their relevant work experience, education and certifications, which qualify them to practice in this highly specialized environment.

Mr. Artessa continued, "Upstate serves a very diverse geographic area in both size and setting. Some areas are very remote and rural while others are very urban and densely populated. We adapt our services to the needs of our patients by viewing each one as an individual with specific needs, including the suitability of home equipment and therapy services."

Upstate HomeCare takes the extra step, working directly with the patient's caregiver for a consistent and safe medication profile. They continually research each of their respective markets, and use their considerable knowledge base and talent to develop new programs, helping patients avoid hospital stays and encourage treatment within a patient's home. Their free delivery and medication reconciliation programs are two such examples.

Upstate HomeCare also provides a rare education component, training patients and caregivers on effective use of medical equipment, proper medication dosage and the importance and value of proper nutrition. Statistics show that malnutrition in hospitalized cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy generally exceeds 25%. Upstate HomeCare has developed a full nutrition management program. They also continually evaluate programs to make sure they are cost-effective for each patient.

"Home care services are an indispensable part of the healthcare continuum," said Syracu
