Welcome to
The Front Porch.
Where stories begin and care continues.
A front porch is known as a home’s extension to the outside world. It’s where strangers become friends and our most personal and genuine conversations take place.

For more than two decades, LHC Group has worked to build a better community through quality care and genuine connection. It’s time to tell our stories.
