Testimonials

The annual conference has been exceptional. Great speakers. A lot of motivation and a lot of great information to take back to share with my colleagues. Really focused on patient-centeredness…Exciting stuff.
Diane Graham, VP of Clinical Operations Support & Professional Development at Amedisys
NAHC not only attracts hundreds of attendees, it attracts quality attendees that are serious decision makers looking for change and new solutions. NAHC strategically selects amazing locations to host their conferences, pulling in the local culture and vibe. These locations provide an amazing ambiance as well as many locations for networking opportunities. NAHC is a must for your 2019 Conference Calendar.
Jill Schexnayder, KanTime Marketing and Events Coordinator
I have been a member of NAHC almost my entire career and I wouldn’t be in business if I had not been a member of NAHC… The legislative action that NAHC completes for us is invaluable because it brings all of the home care voices together as one and without that we would have no power in Washington.
Kim Gaffey, CEO of Gaffey Home Nursing & Hospice
If I only go to one conference a year, the Financial Management Conference is the one. It's focused, intense, and gives leaders what is needed to guide their hospice and home health agencies for the future. I have not missed a FMC since moving into a leadership role
Carolyn Flietstra, Executive Vice President of Home and Community Services at Holland Home
We always have multiple members of our team attend the Financial Management Conference. The universal feedback is it a great conference due to the content and networking with others in the industry. We believe it is a great value for the money. We are sending six to the FMC this year based off prior years and believe it worth the travel cost in today’s environment. This event is a priority item versus other opportunities.
Joe Calcutt, Chief Financial Officer of Liberty Healthcare
The annual conference has been amazing. The amount of access to people who have all the answers is unbelievable. Even the biggest speakers, you get time to rub elbows with… It’s been completely remarkable and I’m going to leave here really empowered to do a lot of good things for our members. I can’t wait for next year.
Joe Russell, Ohio Council for Home Care & Hospice
FMC is like the World Series. It occurs once a year bringing together the best minds of the consulting, provider, technology and other suppliers of the home health and hospice industries for a thoughtful and intense discussion of the most relevant issues and challenges we face. You simply cannot afford to miss it.
Walter W. Borginis III, CPA, CGMA, MBA, FCPP, Former President and CEO of Visiting Nurse Association of Philadelphia
Exhibiting at the NAHC Conference allows Axxess to connect with and empower the entire industry. It is a unique opportunity to forge partnerships that have helped Axxess grow.
Adrian Killebrew, Business Development Executive, Axxess
If you are committed to your company's future, the annual NAHC conference is a 'must attend' event. It is the only venue that combines critical education on new regulations and reimbursement, access to new technologies and innovation, and the opportunity to discuss best practices with your peer group. Everyone lleft with at least a few new ideas on dealing with the upcoming challenges in 2019. The venue and food were a bonus!
Mark Kulik, Managing Director of The Braff Group
NAHC saved our lives. I became Executive Director two days after pre-claim review was announced, so it was baptism by fire. I remember my first call with Bill. He could have easily said, ‘this is what you’re going to do.’ But he didn’t. He said ‘how can we work together?’ He said ‘maybe we should do a weekly call with your members.’ Fabulous! For 22 weeks we did a weekly call with our members with Bill and I on the phone answering questions as best we could. Getting information to them and trying to ease their pain, at the same time, we’re advocating like crazy. The success of that experience taught us a lot.
Sara Ratcliffe, Executive Director of Illinois HomeCare & Hospice Council
