The devastation caused by Hurricane Florence has stunned and saddened us all. Thousands of people who work in home care and hospice in the Carolinas are dealing with terrible hardship and loss. Now is the time for us to lend a hand to those who have devoted their lives to caring for others. Please donate to the Hurricane Florence Disaster Relief Fund for Home Care & Hospice Employees. LEARN MORE.
We are excited to announce that Kornetti and Krafft, experts in the realm of therapy, are presenting a five-part series of webinars with NAHC on an area of great need in the home care area: Maintenance Therapy.
CMS has proposed a big rate cut for home health agencies in 2020, based on unproven assumptions about provider behavior. A bill in Congress would prevent CMS from using faulty assumptions to impose rate cuts. Use NAHC’s Legislative Action Center to contact your representatives in Congress and ask them to support this legislation and protect home health patients and providers today. Congress can protect home health, but we need your voice to make it happen.
The 2018 Home Care and Hospice Conference and Expo was a huge success. The best and brightest in the industry spent three days learning, networking, and becoming better leaders for the companies and their communities. Have a look at what was perhaps the best NAHC Conference ever!
