Former AAH Council Chair Launches Unitas Software Firm

EASTHAMPTON, Mass.–The former AAHomecare Rehab and Assistive
Technology Council Chairman has moved from the provider side to the
vendor side, launching Unitas, a new company offering Web-based
referral and billing solutions tailored for the rehab and oxygen
fields.

Company founder Matthew Burke, who describes himself as a
“homegrown computer geek,” said he had been tinkering with
Web-based back-office solutions for years as director of operations
at Burke Home Medical Equipment in Chicopee, Mass. Last November,
he decided to take those solutions “to the next level” by forming
his own company, which launched last month.

The company made its first appearance at Medtrade Spring,
sharing booth space with The VGM Group. The buying group has
offered Unitas secure space on its data servers in Waterloo,
Iowa.

With the launch, Burke resigned as AAHomecare Rehab Council
chairman. The association said it will announce a new Council chair
before its Leadership Conference in June.
