Say Hello To Our New Chief Operating Officer!

Exciting News! I am so pleased to announce Sunflower Home Health Care Service’s NEW Chief Operating Officer Laudelina “Lina” Coria.

She has worked closely with patients both in the office as well as personally with her own family members.

Besides the Administrative Health background, Lina also has experience in the Social Media field. She has been our Social Media Specialist for a short period of time with our company and has shown herself to be very compassionate toward our Patients, an excellent muti-tasker and team player, a self-motivator, and very flexible in impromptu situations. Lina possesses an excellent record of details pertaining to both Patient and Home Health Aides, and phenomenal timely service delivery.

It is with excitement to promote Lina from Social Media Specialist to Chief Operating Officer.

Sunflower Philly's Back-2-School Drive Was A Success!

Our Back to School Drive, proudly sponsored by Sunflower Home Health Care Services, was a big success! We gave backpacks filled with essential school supplies to many children and families who needed them. The joy on the faces of all who were present made our day brighter! It was a chance to bring our community closer together and we are so happy that we were able to sponsor such a meaningful event. Here are some pictures of the happy moments here, and we want to thank all the families that joined us.
