Prince has dedicated his career to enhancing community service. Since 2014, he has contributed his expertise to various well-known home health, hospice, and private duty home care services throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. His primary focus has been on operations and the growth and development of businesses in the sector. Prince discovered a profound connection with patients, caregivers, and healthcare organizations, leading him to develop a passion for making a positive impact.
The driving force behind Prince's commitment to home health is personal. His aging parents have emphasized the importance of remaining independent in their home, inspiring him to advocate for quality home-based care.
