Clinical Advisory Board
Home care is about study, observation and consultation, almost as much as it is about heart.
The administrative team at BlueBird enlisted the consultation and guidance of leading medical professionals. We always admired physicians and specialists for their acute diagnostics, but it was also always about bedside manner and patient perspective. We reached out to the sought after providers who have been our icons in business and medicine.
The difference between a medical facility and a home care commitment is the fine line between facility and community. Beyond the serviceable hours, home care is completely patient oriented. Our expertise in the industry awarded us the panoramic view of care and we consulted with the world of medicine before actualizing our mission of continued care.
BlueBird’s Clinical Advisory Board provides real perspectives from real doctors who have gone beyond the call of duty to shape the way we view and provide home care. We continue to consult with our Clinical Advisory Board, while they regularly oversee progress and provide an open channel of communication of medical guidance for BlueBird clients.
