"COBA's mission is not just to educate students in accounting and finance, but in ethics as well," Anthony says.  "Our students do know right from wrong."

Anthony remembers COBA's emphasis on ethics every day as president of Dallas-based Advanced Homecare Management, a company that provides services to the home healthcare industry.

"Our clients are the actual homecare providers," says Anthony, who started the company in 1998.  Eighty percent of the people receiving in-home care from AHM's clients are geriatric patients, she says.  The remaining 20 percent are high-need, pediatric patients who require 24-hour care.

"What we do really makes a difference in people's lives," Anthony says.

Anthony also serves as CEO of Homecare Homebase, which develops software enabling homecare nurses to transmit patient information to doctors via cell phones.  The technology more effectively manages the care patients receive, she says.

In the business world, where compassion can often get lost in the race to succeed, Anthony continues to prove what COBA students are still learning today:  the vital combination of being both a Christian and a business leader.

"It's a whole lot more than a business," Anthony says.
