Join Ken Albert, President and Chief Executive Officer for Androscoggin Home Care and Hospice and chairman of the NAHC Board of Directors, and NAHC  President William A. Dombi for the opening session of the 2023 conference. Bill and the NAHC policy team will deliver the 2023 Legislative, Regulatory, and Legal Update, by far the most in-depth and insightful policy briefing in the industry. NAHC is highly engaged in advocacy to prevent crippling Medicare payment cuts to home health and hospice providers, expand and improve the direct care workforce, and many other issues vital to providing quality care in the home. Bill will explain what NAHC is doing for you now and what we are likely to face in the critical election year of 2024. Whatever it is, we will face it together. In addition, Bill will provide a detailed update on NAHC 2.0, the process of turning NAHC into a stronger trade association and a more effective advocate for home care and hospice. You will learn more about what NAHC is doing for its members and for the millions of patients and caregivers who depend on home care and hospice for their livelihood, health, and well-being.Read More

NAHC Director of Grassroots Advocacy Summer Napier will host agency leaders who are advocating for home care and hospice in a variety of ways. Summer will explain how the decisions you make in business can be advocacy, and she has proven you don’t need to be a professional lobbyist to make an impact. She will show you how to remove the doubts around becoming an advocate and help you be an effective everyday spokesperson for care at home. Joining Summer to discuss personal advocacy will be leaders from across our industry. Jeff Salter, CEO at Caring Senior Service, started in home care 33 years ago, turning five locations into a franchise enterprise with over 50 locations in 22 states. In a memorable display of personal advocacy, in 2021 he rode an electric bike 9500 miles across the United States to raise awareness to seniors’ issues and close the gaps in their care. His ride helped raise over $170,000 to install grab bars in senior’s homes. Tonya Gray is Director of Home Health and Home Care Services at UW Health Northern Illinois and a member of NAHC’s Board of Directors. She regularly speaks in her local church and advocates for care in the home because it isRead More
