More about Association for Home & Hospice Care of North Carolina

It represents over 750 provider agencies and business partners across North Carolina, including home health (representing 98% of NC providers), hospice (98% of NC providers), palliative care, and other related services. AHHC operates a career center (AHHC Career Center) that connects nursing professionals with job openings at its member agencies throughout the state and nationally. The association itself functions as an advocacy, educational, and resource organization rather than a healthcare delivery entity. For nurses seeking employment in home health or hospice care in North Carolina, AHHC serves as an important networking and job-search portal, but it is not the employer of record for clinical positions. The job listings posted through AHHC's career center are from member agencies, and employment terms, compensation, and culture would be determined by those individual member organizations, not by AHHC itself.

AHHC's stated mission is to provide Resources, Education, Advocacy, and Leadership to its 750+ member agencies. The association strongly advocates for the home health, hospice, and palliative care industries at the state level, offering technical assistance, educational programs, monthly newsletters, email alerts, and political lobbying on behalf of providers.
