About Intention Health Care
Founded on the belief that the best care happens at home, Intention Health Care brings physician-led clinical teams directly to patients who need it most.
Our Story
Intention Health Care, formerly known as Essen House Calls, was created over 20 years ago to bring physician-led medical care directly into the homes of New York's most vulnerable patients. What started as a house calls program has grown into a comprehensive home-based care model across multiple states.

Why Intention Health Care
Unlike traditional home health, we don't just visit — we stay connected. Our physician-led teams use real-time health data, remote monitoring, and direct communication channels to intervene early, prevent crises, and coordinate across the full care team. The result: better outcomes, lower costs, and patients who stay home — where they belong.
Proven Outcomes
Our model delivers measurable results: reduced emergency department utilization, fewer inpatient admissions, improved quality scores, and higher member retention for health plans. We align incentives across providers, agencies, and payers to create shared accountability for patient outcomes.
Our Mission
To deliver compassionate, coordinated, physician-led care in the home — improving lives, supporting caregivers, and transforming how healthcare is delivered to those who need it most.
