Dear Colleague,

Your interest is invited in this brochure which highlights the speakers and educational sessions offered at the 12th Annual NAHC Financial Management Conference. This conference is sponsored by the National Association for Home Care & Hospice and its related Home Care and Hospice Financial Managers Association.

If you could choose the ideal time to visit Chicago – one of America’s greatest cities – it would be July.  Our conference, which will be held July 19-21, takes place at the beautiful Sheraton Chicago Hotel and Towers.  Our hotel overlooks the Chicago River and Lake Michigan and is walking distance from Chicago’s famous Magnificent Mile, Navy Pier and the Art Institute.

This conference is the high point of the year for many executives in the hospice and home health field. It gives them and their chief financial officers the opportunity to meet with all the top industry financial experts and consultants (virtually the only time they are all available at one time and in one place).

At this conference NAHC staff and top industry experts will be on hand to help you:

1. Learn the latest trends in law and regulation
2. Assess the business environment
3. Develop a vision and initiate its implementation
4. Create a strategic plan and set reasonable goals for the future
5. Harness new information technology to manage your agency
6. Build extraordinary customer service
7. Recruit competent employees, train, and retain them
8. Survive if your company is located in rural areas
9. Make your agency the star of your hospital system
10. Discover new lines of business being offered successfully by others
11. Help your hospice survive and prosper
12. Obtain a competitive advantage with lower cost and higher quality care.

We invite you to ask anyone who has ever attended this conference. We are sure they would attest that it is one of the best investments that you can ever make to guarantee the well being of your organization. It will be one of the best meetings you have ever attended; you have our word on that. We look forward to seeing you there.

With best wishes,

Val J. Halamandaris, JD President National Association for Home Care & Hospice	Ruth Constant, EdD, MSN Chairman of the Board National Association for Home Care & Hospice
