Paraprofessional Healthcare Institute
Paraprofessional Healthcare Institute, Inc. (PHI) is a non-profit organization based in New York City that works to improve long-term services and supports for elders and individuals with disabilities, as well as improve the job quality of the direct-care workers who provide those services whether in people's homes or in nursing homes and other institutional facilities.〔Leland, John (April 24, 2010).

== Overview ==
Founded in 1991 and headquartered in the Bronx, PHI has 32 staff members, and implements policy and practice initiatives in 20 states and nationally.
PHI has received state and national grants to run pilot training programs, which teach staff at long-term care organizations how to implement a "Coaching Approach" to communication, supervision, and problem-solving.〔Jones, Diana Nelson (May 23, 2010). (“National Movement Focuses on Choice, Independence for elderly.” ) ''Pittsburgh Post-Gazette''.〕 As part of its “Health Care for Health Care Workers” campaign, PHI initiated a ''Come Care With Me'' program that paired policymakers with direct-care workers for a day on the job, so that they could learn firsthand about the day-to-day struggles associated with this workforce.〔Scott, Jason (December 28, 2009). (“Reporter’s Notebook: Legislator Participates in Come Care with Me Day.” ) ''The Sentinel''.〕〔Higgins, Kaileigh (September 30, 2010). (“Jehlen Rolls Up Her Sleeves at 102-Year-Old’s House.” ) Boston.com〕 PHI also runs the National Clearinghouse on the Direct Care Workforce, an online library of over a thousand materials related to the direct-care workforce.
PHI (supports ) revising the companionship exemption so that home care aides are no longer excluded from federal minimum wage and overtime protections. They have been opposed by many organizations which support the rights of people with disabilities such as ADAPT () and Disabled In Action of Metropolitan New York () which argue that revising the companionship exemption to require the payment of overtime rates for work performed beyond 40 hours a week will lead to reduced hours and take-home pay for home care workers and force many people with disabilities into nursing homes.
