Healing Hands Healthcare Receives CHAP’s High-Acuity Care at Home Certification

WICHITA FALLS, Texas—Community Health Accreditation Partner (CHAP) announced that Healing Hands Healthcare has become the first home health provider in the United States to achieve CHAP’s High-Acuity Care at Home Certification.

The two-day, on-site certification survey was completed on August 20, 2025, in Wichita Falls, Texas. The screening process included home visits, record and personnel reviews and interviews with staff, patients and families.

Healing Hands provides patient-centered home health and advanced care services. Their services include:

• Remote patient monitoring with daily check-ins
• Multidisciplinary care with physicians, practitioners, nurses, therapists, social workers and aides
• Access to stat labs, X-rays, pharmacy, durable medical equipment and infusion
• Specialized training and competencies for staff in advanced technology and equipment
• Exceptional care coordination designed to prevent avoidable hospitalizations

“[Healing Hands CEO Summer Napier] and her team are deeply committed to keeping patients safe at home by delivering the highest level of skilled, coordinated care,” said Teresa Harbour, chief operating officer of CHAP. “Their staff demonstrated remarkable skill, compassion, and proficiency in high-acuity care, and they’ve set the bar for what is possible in this next era of home-based care.”

Healing Hands was an inaugural member of CHAP’s Community Advisory Group and served as a pilot site in the development of the High-Acuity Care Standards.

“When Sara Tyra and I founded Healing Hands Healthcare in 2018, our vision was simple but bold: to build the most forward-thinking, mission-driven home-based care organization possible—one that brings healthcare home in a way that honors the physical, spiritual, emotional and every other unique needs of every patient,” said Napier. “Today, becoming the first in the nation to receive CHAP’s High Acuity Care at Home certification is a profoundly meaningful milestone. We are deeply grateful for CHAP’s unwavering dedication to guiding our industry with the highest standards of quality and safety.”
