President and CEO
Martha@bestmakesithappen.com
Martha is the founder and President of Best Home Care, a private home health care company that opened in February of 1999. As a manager at a VNA, she heard from clients on a daily basis asking how to get the health care services that they so desperately needed, when Medicare benefits were no longer available to pay for the type of services that they needed. Martha knew this business and she understood that she could provide a desperately needed service for many clients in the community. With over 25 years of experience in nursing, home health, and community health care, Martha knows how the health care system works and how to access available resources.
She also understands the anxiety and confusion that clients and family members are often faced with when they suddenly find themselves in a situation that requires the navigation of a complicated system.
Martha is committed to assisting clients to remain in the setting of their choice. She is passionate about community and home health care. She wants to give to the community by providing education and information to the community, and to keep people safe and healthy in the comfort of their own homes.
In 1999, Martha attended The Commonwealth Corporation for Business, Work, and Learning Program-- an educational program designed for new business owners. In June of 2000, she was nominated and received the award for Entrepreneur of the Year. She was presented with the award at the State House in Boston.
Martha is married to Barry Hamm -- Vice President of the company-- and has a daughter, Carolyn, who is a Special Education and Elementary school teacher for the Andover public school system and a son, Jeff, a computer scientist currently working for DocSite, designing and developing health care software. She loves traveling, taking long walks, bike riding, and reading.
