Description

It’s a fact -- industries and organizations who approach advocacy in a disciplined way, succeed. With so much money on the table, why doesn’t every home-based provider prioritize advocacy as a critical business function? The cost of advocacy and engagement in terms of time and resources are minimal, yet the benefits and value of government and regulatory engagement is huge. Home-based care has emerged as an essential and central component of future care delivery models and a critical partner for hospitals, physicians and payers. Our industry performance and results now offer new opportunities for home health, hospice growth and relevance. The way we advocate, engage and lead as an industry presents a great opportunity to move forward. Every voice is needed to advance the industry and secure your organization’s future.
