Frontier Healthcare

What Frontier Healthcare does

Frontier Health Care Services LLC (operating as FHCS / Frontier Healthcare) is a private, nurse-owned home health care and medical staffing services company founded in 2010 and headquartered at 1642 Brice Road, Reynoldsburg, Ohio, in the Columbus metro. The company provides both medical and non-medical in-home care to seniors, individuals recovering from illness or injury, individuals with mental health disorders, and children with developmental disabilities in the Columbus, Ohio and surrounding Franklin County area. Its core in-home service lines include skilled nursing, physical/occupational/speech therapy, home health aides, IV therapy and wound care (including Wound Vac, PICC line care, and IV antibiotics), and DODD-coordinated mental health and developmental disability support. No proprietary technology platform is described; the business is operationally intensive, dependent on a screened, licensed, bonded, and insured caregiver workforce.

In parallel, FHCS operates a healthcare staffing division that places registered nurses, LPNs, travel nurses, and allied professionals (respiratory, occupational, and speech therapists, medical imaging techs) with healthcare facilities experiencing shortages, with travel nursing placements claimed across all 50 U.S. states. The company also runs an Ohio state-approved 75-hour STNA/CNA/HHA training program (59 hours classroom, 16 hours clinical) and CPR/AED/First Aid/BLS certification courses, creating a captive talent pipeline and a third revenue stream. Revenue is generated through insurance reimbursements (Medicare, Medicaid, and 14+ commercial plans including Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, Humana, UnitedHealth, Molina, Anthem BCBS, Buckeye, MediGold, Pacificare, PHCS, Integrated Health Plan, Passport, and Carestar), facility staffing fees, and one-time tuition for training programs (STNA Day Class $445, Evening Class $500, HHA Class $400; CPR/AED/First Aid/BLS $30-$65 per class).

The go-to-market is primarily sales-led via direct phone inquiries and online referral forms, supplemented by a content marketing blog and SEO targeting Columbus/Reynoldsburg local search, with a stated employee-referral channel as the largest source of new healthcare professional hires. Leadership is anchored by co-founder and principal C. Odom II, with the company describing itself as "nurse owned and operated." No funding rounds, acquisitions, subsidiaries, or public listing are disclosed.
