GURNEE, Ill. – Paragon Healthcare has partnered with BrightStar Care, a home care and medical staffing agency with more than 380 corporate-owned and franchise locations, as its premier partner for home infusion services. Amid an ongoing health care worker and nursing shortage, this strategic collaboration enables Paragon Healthcare to efficiently enhance the delivery of high-quality home infusion services to a broader clientele through BrightStar Care's nurse-led, Joint Commission-accredited care model. “In addition to having more than two decades of success in the home care space and an existing structure for providing in-home infusion nurses, BrightStar Care's core brand values align seamlessly with the mission of Paragon Healthcare," said Ashley Smith, director of Home Nursing Operations for Paragon Healthcare. "We look forward to growing this relationship and expanding our capabilities to efficiently serve more clients with the high-quality home infusion services they need." Paragon Healthcare was recently acquired by Elevance Health, formerly Anthem. Founded in 2002, BrightStar Care is a national home care agency with more than 380 corporate-owned and franchised locations nationwide that provide medical and non-medical home health care services to clients and supplemental care staff to businesses. The company’s corporate and franchise agencies across the country employ more than 15,000 caregivers and 5,700 registered nurses.
