In simple terms, OCHCH exists to support the people and organizations who make it possible for Ohioans to receive medical care right in their homes — where it’s often safer, more comfortable, and more dignified.

The Council provides training, education, advocacy, and leadership to the agencies who care for Ohio’s sickest, most fragile, and often most financially vulnerable residents.

We work behind the scenes to make sure those caregivers can keep doing their jobs — caring for your parent, your grandparent, your spouse, your child, or even yourself — in your own home.

Our mission is to promote and advance home and community-based care throughout Ohio. Our vision is simple but powerful: that every Ohioan who needs home care or hospice has access to it.

Home health and hospice agencies help people live better lives by keeping them out of hospitals and in the place they love most — home. But they can’t do it alone.

Home- and community-based service agencies need support, guidance, and a voice that helps them conduct the business of care. That’s what we do.
