Ford Focus Fleet from Enterprise Drives Up Efficiency for Hospice Provider
A new fleet of eco-friendly Ford Focus vehicles from Enterprise Fleet Management is helping Camellia Home Health Hospice of Mississippi lower costs and achieve new levels of competitive advantage.
Camellia Home Health and Hospice is providing clinical team members 105 brand-new, eco-boost Ford Focus models and 20 Ford Escapes. As a result, employees will no longer have to seek reimbursement from the company for mileage driven in their personal cars.
Camellia Home Health and Hospice expects the fleet of 125 cars will give the company an advantage in a highly competitive industry. The addition will help to promote the company’s professional image and attract the attention of patients and prospective employees.
“The decision to switch to providing company vehicles from mileage reimbursement is reducing our expenses and those of our employees while offering employees the benefit of driving vehicles that are safe and reliable,” said Abb Payne, President and CEO of Camellia Home Health and Hospice.
According to Payne, “Our field staff drivers log as much as 2.2 million miles a year. Providing company cars that are well maintained and equipped with the latest safety features should help reduce accidents, downtime and absences.”
Payne added, “Through the program, staff are provided with maintenance, insurance, vehicle registration and reporting, as well as a fuel card program that automatically monitors fuel purchases and miles for each vehicle.”
