Voices of Advocacy is proudly presented to you by National Association for Home Care & Hospice. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.
Discription:
AHC 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 is essential to the health care continuum.
Robert Love, Executive Director of Butte Home Health and Hospice in California, has been a leader in the industry for over 20 years. Robert takes personal responsibility for the well-being of his employees and their patients and believes care-at-home professionals must take responsibility for advocating for the industry and the patients that rely on it.
Vince Moffitt is the CEO of several health care companies, such as Basin Home Health and Hospice, and serves on the board of various local organizations that work to strengthen their local communities. Vince’s extensive work in the community, from volunteering for disaster relief to coordinating vaccine clinics, convinced him that each person has the tools to make a difference and a responsibility to advocate for the millions who depend on care in the home.
