HISTORY
The Mississippi Home Health Association was chartered as a non-profit Mississippi corporation in December, 1975 to operate for the benefit of member home health agencies, home health related agencies and the benefit of the public in fostering and maintaining high standards of home health care. The corporation changed its name to Mississippi Association for Home Care (MAHC) in April of 1990 to more accurately reflect our membership's primary focus, Care. Through continued membership support and extended industry growth, MAHC has experienced significant expansion in the past few years in terms of membership services and educational offerings. All 82 Mississippi counties are served by MAHC members. For a listing by county, click here.
