Dear Friend,
Before Incare Home Healthcare was established
we were a Nursing and Respiratory Medical Agency named Fozzard Services, Inc., which was
started in 1997. Fozzard Services
supplied St. Margaret’s Hospital, Ingall’s Hospital, Methodist Hospitals,
St. Catherine’s Hospital and all other hospitals in our area with medical staff-
primarily Nurses. Since 1997, Fozzard
Services was the preferred nursing agency with St. Margaret’s and many other
hospitals in our area for many years. We
have established a reputation of providing competent,
compassionate, reliable staff.
In
1997, when I was setting up the business, I was advised that it was not in my
best interest to do it. Because I was a
Native American and grew up extremely humble conditions, people thought I would
not succeed. Although I was poor, it was
always my dream and goal to open my own medical agency. I wanted to open a business to create high
paying jobs for nurses and also excellent care to the patient. Because I was a Respiratory Therapist and
lacked capital to pay staff, I worked 16 hour shifts 7 days a week to support
the new business. I would work 16 hours
at St. Margaret’s Hospital and then I would go to Ingall’s Hospital and work
another 16 hours. I did that for many
years to help with see patients in the hospital and run my business at the same
time. After Fozzard Services was
established we received our SBD (8a) Small Business Minority Certification
making our company one of the only Native American Medical Companies at that
time. Currently the statistics show that
only 0.09% Small Businesses are Native American.
In 2007, we diversified and opened Incare Home
Healthcare, Inc. Our mission is still
the same, to provide you the best care possible, but now inside the home. As a patient you have the choice of which
home care company you want to use. Incare assures you if you choose our
company, we will provide the best care possible.
Sincerely,
Jerry Lee Fozzard, CEO
