About Awakened Alternatives Inc.

Awakened Alternatives, Inc. (AAI) has evolved since its inception in 1995 to become a comprehensive community healthcare management company that has implemented a cutting-edge model that works to achieve optimal health outcomes, by integrating the physical, mental, spiritual, and community aspects of a patient's life in their most vulnerable environment – their home and community. This philosophy has resulted in quality, cost-efficient healthcare that maximizes prevention, independence, wellness, and appropriate utilization.

Many times our employees helped customers understand their benefits and matched them with healthcare providers and other community organizations that could provide them with the services they needed.

Awakened Alternatives Enterprises, Inc. was founded more than 10 years ago by a registered nurse with more than 34 years of experience in the delivery of health care. Because of her sense of compassion, knowledge and expertise in the industry, AAE has grown rapidly under her leadership.
