92 to 275 Virtual Assistants. 37 to 127 Healthcare Clients. One Year. One Clear Direction.
Between December 2024 and November 2025, Ascension Business Solutions (ABS) experienced a level of growth that many home care, home health, and hospice agencies strive for—but few achieve sustainably.

This growth wasn’t accidental. And it wasn’t fueled by shortcuts, burnout, or sacrificing quality.
It was built through intentional leadership, aligned systems, and a deep respect for the realities of healthcare operations—the same realities you face every day as a provider, owner, or executive.
When Growth Demands a Pause
In healthcare, growth without reflection creates risk.
As ABS scaled rapidly alongside our home care, home health, and hospice partners, we knew one thing: to support the next level of our clients’ growth, we first had to elevate our own leadership, alignment, and strategy.
That’s why our management team made a deliberate decision—to step away from the noise and come together in one place.
That place was Siquijor Island, Philippines.
Why Siquijor Was More Than a Retreat
Getting to Siquijor wasn’t easy.
It took 12 hours of travel—planes, boats, and long transitions.
But leadership clarity is rarely convenient.
Siquijor gave us something rare in fast-growing healthcare organizations: space to think clearly.
Space to reconnect as a management team
Space to strengthen trust and collaboration
Space to evaluate what’s working—and what must evolve
Space to plan how ABS can better support healthcare leaders in 2026 and beyond
We explored the island together.
We went diving.
We experienced the fairy walk at Cambugahay Falls, a reminder that balance and humility matter—even in leadership.
We captured a drone shot at Paliton Beach, symbolizing a higher-level view of where we’re going.
But the most powerful moments weren’t recreational.
They were strategic.
Face-to-Face Leadership Changes Everything
ABS is a global, remote-first organization. Our teams work across borders, time zones, and healthcare systems.
That’s why having our entire management team together in person was transformative.
Even more meaningful: our Business Development Coordinator flew in from the United States to join us—not just to enjoy the island, but to collaborate deeply with leadership.
This retreat wasn’t a vacation.
It was a working leadership summit.
We aligned on:
How to better support home care, home health, and hospice workflows
How to improve VA placement, training, and long-term success
How to reduce friction, burnout, and inefficiency for healthcare owners
How ABS must evolve to stay ahead of industry demands—not react to them
Decisions that would normally take months were made in days—because alignment accelerates execution.
What This Means for Home Care, and Home Health Leaders
If you’re leading a healthcare organization today, you already know the pressure:
Staffing shortages
Administrative overload
Compliance and documentation demands
Leadership burnout
Limited time to focus on growth
You don’t need more chaos.
You need reliable, healthcare-trained support that scales with you.
At ABS, we are not building a generic VA agency.
We are building a healthcare support partner—one that understands:
Scheduling complexities
Intake workflows
After-hours and on-call coverage
Recruiting and back-office operations
The human side of healthcare leadership
Our growth reflects the trust our partners place in us—and our responsibility to honor that trust with excellence.
Looking Ahead to 2026: Growth With Intention
As we closed our time in Siquijor, one shared commitment was clear across the entire management team:
In 2026, we become the best version of ourselves—so we can help our clients do the same.
We move forward grounded in our core values:
Love – genuine care for clients, teams, and patients
Support – proactive, reliable partnership
Excellence – in systems, people, and outcomes
We are not chasing growth for growth’s sake.
We are building something sustainable, scalable, and worthy of the healthcare leaders we serve.
Ready to Grow Smarter in 2026?
If you are a home care, home health, or hospice leader preparing for your next stage of growth, the question isn’t if you need support.
The question is who you trust to scale with you.
ABS is ready to partner with organizations that want:
Less administrative burden
Stronger back-office systems
Healthcare-trained virtual assistants
A team that grows with—not ahead of—you
