HistoryAs a practicing physical therapist directly out of college, Celtic Healthcare Founder and CEO Arnie Burchianti noticed a stark disconnect between the various disciplines of healthcare providers that were caring for a patient. Nurses were not communicating their patients' needs to physical therapists and physical therapists were not communicating with occupational therapists and so on. As a result, patients were not receiving top-notch care. At Duquesne University, Burchianti was taught that integrated healthcare was the key to quality care, and he immediately understood the need for an organization that practiced this vital concept. In 2000, Arnie set out to form a Medicare-certified home healthcare agency, centered on strong multi-disciplinary communication and streamlined, innovative information technology. At a time when Medicare-certified agencies were closing left and right, Burchianti was confident that his unique model would blossom.SpecialtiesCeltic Healthcare is an innovative leader in the delivery of healthcare at home.
