Abound Health
Abound Health is a North Carolina Statewide agency that provides a comprehensive array of supports and services to children and adults of all ages, with all types of intellectual and developmental disabilities. Abound was created out of necessity more than 20 years ago when founders Janet and Rusty Presson grew tired of searching for quality services for their young son diagnosed with Autism. They decided to enter the marketplace themselves and thus A Small Miracle born. Much as has changed in that time, but just as importantly, many things have not. Abound remains a place that individuals and families with special needs turn to for high impact services and supports delivered in a nurturing and environment. Since becoming an Aymira company in 2015, Abound Health has also been leading the way in the convergence of EHR technology and specialty care services. Our agency today is largely paperless, and completely data driven. We are embracing the industry’s move towards national initiatives like EVV, HIE, and Value Based Payments.
