Our Story
G. E. M. Health Care Agency was established in 1989 with the intent of providing a service that was notably needed in our community. As a fledgling company, we learned early on that meeting our customers’ expectations through the development of quality service, reasonable prices, and on-time delivery would be the keys to our success.
In 1998, we reached a significant milestone in our history by occupying a larger facility and expanding our operations to nearly double that of our 1989 capacity. The expansion enabled us to add more staff to our growing number through our onsite training program, which is approved by the New York State Department of Health. This enables us to meet our industry demand.
Over the years, we have forged strong bonds with our customers through mutual respect and exceeding their expectations. As we continue our growth into the 21st century, we do so with the knowledge and appreciation of our customers and employees.
“GEM Health Care has been the biggest blessing to my family since my father’s Alzheimer’s Diagnosis. Joanne and her team have helped us when other agencies and the health care system backed us into a corner, their dedication and hard work is outstanding. We have used other agencies in the past that have been subpar, but GEM has stepped up and gone the extra mile in making sure my father’s needs are met. Rakeem who is with us most days has helped change our lives for the better during this difficult time. He is always there to lend a helping hand and has become a big part of our family. He is always there when we need him and his passion and dedication for helping people shines bright in everything he does. My family will be forever grateful to Joanne, Rakeem and all the dedicated staff at GEM. I would recommend GEM to anyone in need of quality health care for themselves or their loved ones.”
