Pennant
Pennant Services supports The Pennant Group, one of the most dynamic and progressive companies in the rapidly expanding home health, hospice, senior living and home care industries. Affiliates of Pennant Services now operate 115 home health, hospice, senior living and assisted living agencies and communities across 13 Western states and we expect this growth to continue.
