Welcome to Alpha Med Home Health Care
Where Compassion Meets Clinical Excellence
“The Angels in Blue Scrubs Have Arrived.”
Proudly Women-Owned and Nurse Practitioner–Led
Alpha Med Home Health Care is proudly Women-Owned and Operated, founded by a Nurse Practitioner with extensive bedside experience, including years of dedicated service as a Cardiac Unit Nurse at Glendale Adventist Medical Center. This means that every decision, every policy, and every patient care plan is guided not by corporate administrators — but by someone who has lived healthcare at the bedside, cared for patients hands-on, and understands what true healing looks and feels like.
At Alpha Med, care is not outsourced — it is deeply personal, compassionate, and clinically sound.
Care Designed by a Nurse. Built on Experience. Delivered with Heart.
Our leadership brings:
- Years of frontline cardiac and acute care hospital experience
- Deep understanding of post-surgical, cardiac, respiratory, and chronic illness management
- Firsthand appreciation for the emotional, cultural, and physical needs of patients and families
- A strong commitment to supporting women-led healthcare, ethical practices, and patient dignity
This clinical foundation shapes everything we do — from how we train our staff to how we comfort families, manage care plans, and support physicians.
