Horizon Health has experienced tremendous growth over the past several years. We have invested in new physical space at our main campus in Paris, and have added new off-site locations and services.
An addition to the Paris Clinic was completed in 2022, which provides additional space for family practice providers and behavioral health services. The current clinic will continue to house practices of the specialty providers.
A new rehabilitation services building was constructed in 2019. The Life Center building opened in 2020 and houses Senior Care, our outpatient geriatric psychology program, and the Human Resources Center of Edgar & Clark Counties.
