About Session

Panel Discussion Hosted by Jake Krilovich

Advocacy is a marathon, not a sprint. Now, more than ever the home care and hospice industry must mobilize to not only expand access to care at home, but protect it. With state and federal budgetary pressures, growing demand for care, and the government’s desire to contain rising health care expenditures, our industry needs to position itself as a critical piece to solving this crisis. This moderated-panel discussion will feature providers from across the New England region to dive into recent advocacy success and the hurdles that were overcome to achieve them. You will walk away informed and energized about the role providers play in advancing the industry’s message and legislative priorities.
