Dr. Steve Landers Steps Down After Successfully Leading Organization Through Seminal Formation Period
(Alexandria, VA) – The National Alliance for Care at Home (the Alliance) today announced that Dr. Steve Landers has stepped down from his role as Chief Executive Officer effective February 9, 2026. Jennifer Sheets will succeed Landers as CEO effective February 17, 2026. Sheets will also assume his role as President of the Research Institute for Home Care, an affiliated organization.
“I am deeply grateful and proud to have served as the inaugural CEO of the National Alliance for Care at Home. This has been a true highlight of my lifelong career in home-based care, and I’m eager to see the continued success of the organization under Jennifer and the Board’s leadership,” said Dr. Landers. “Advancing home care and hospice should be amongst the highest public policy priorities for our country.”
“Dr. Landers has been instrumental in establishing the Alliance as the leading voice for care at home in America,” said Ken Albert, Chair of the Board of Directors. “His vision, heart, and tireless advocacy have positioned our industry for long-term success. We are thankful for his leadership and the strong foundation he has built.”
Sheets is a distinguished healthcare executive bringing nearly 25 years of experience spanning ICU nursing, hospital leadership, home health, hospice, healthcare technology, and M&A. Her recent leadership spans from Founder and CEO of Carezzi to President and CEO of Caring Brands International and Interim HealthCare Inc., and includes executive roles at BAYADA Home Health Care, Gentiva Healthcare, and Highland Capital/Cornerstone Healthcare Group.
Sheets has served on multiple national industry boards and remains active in legislative and regulatory advocacy in Washington, DC. She has been recognized with numerous honors, including the 2023 American Business Awards® Woman of the Year in Consumer Services. She holds degrees in Nursing/Chemistry/Math, a Master of Science in Nursing, and a Master of Business Administration.
“The creation of the Alliance marked a defining moment for our industry uniting longstanding leaders in home health and hospice under one voice. As the Alliance’s first CEO, Steve led that launch with vision and purpose, and I’m grateful for the groundwork he established. I’m excited to help shepherd the organization into its next chapter as we continue advocating across the full continuum of care — home health, home care, palliative and hospice care — and expanding access for the patients, families, and clients we all ultimately serve, wherever they call home.”
“Jennifer is the right leader for this moment,” continued Albert. “Her deep knowledge of the Board’s strategic direction throughout the merger and beyond, as well as her tremendous industry acumen position us to build on our strong foundation and guide the care at home movement into its next phase of growth and impact.”
Dr. Landers will work closely with Sheets and the Board of Directors during the transition period to ensure continuity of the organization’s advocacy, member services, and strategic initiatives. The Alliance remains focused on its core mission of advocating for policies that support care at home, building community across the continuum, and providing leading education and resources to members.
