MEET THE FOUNDER
Phillip B. McMillan is a registered nurse and CEO of American River Healthcare, which includes Home Health, Non-Medical, Hospice and Home Infusion Pharmacy Services. Phillip founded American River Home Care in 2014 with the vision of providing quality care and employing quality clinicians. American River Home Care started as a small company, and in just 8 years the organization has grown to employ over 245 individuals and has provided services to over 25,000 patients.
Phillip spent 7 years as a nurse in various departments, ranging from Orthopedics to the Emergency Room setting. As a charge nurse in the ER for many years, Phillip was goal oriented and regularly used his leadership and interpersonal relationship skills to successfully run a team of nurses. Phillip recognized a need within the medical community for competent and compassionate care for patients, once discharged home from the hospital.
The transition from the hospital setting to home health care was natural, given Phillip’s leadership qualities. As an Administrator, Phillip successfully reorganized and ran two separate home health care agencies. It was during this time that he realized he could make his dream of owning his own home health care agency a reality. Since 2014, the American River brand has established an outstanding reputation within the community and has developed several key partnerships with leading hospitals in the area.
American River’s accomplishments are very vast and original. Most notable, is the inception of several pilot programs with hospital systems. These programs were the first of their kind and yielded remarkable outcomes. Decreased length of stay and lowered readmissions have been so remarkable, making American River a highly sought out health care partner. Other major accomplishments include a 99% retention rate of employees and high patient satisfaction scores.
Phillip was born and raised in a small town in South Georgia. He graduated from nursing school in 2004 and relocated to California in 2008. Phillip has a wife and two sons that he adores and loves to spend time with. Sporting events, school activities and traveling are amongst his favorite things to do with his family.
