Acadian Health was founded by Acadian Companies as an expansion of Acadian Ambulance’s medical and health services. Looking at years of patient data, Acadian Companies’ senior clinical leaders recognized an opportunity to de-escalate and treat acute chronic disease exacerbations by partnering with healthcare providers. Patients can be seen, diagnosed and treated by Acadian Health team members in the comfort of their home, vastly improving patient satisfaction and bringing value to clinical partners and their patients. In addition, in-home acute care services drastically eliminate unnecessary trips to the emergency department and reduce hospital admissions, thereby lowering the overall cost of healthcare for both the patient and the health system.
