About this Episode

Care at home has a new leader, and this relaunch episode introduces her. Alliance CEO Jennifer Sheets started at the bedside as an ICU nurse and after years of success across the healthcare continuum and care at home.

Jennifer now runs the National Alliance for Care at Home at one of the most pivotal moments the sector has ever faced. In this conversation, outgoing host Elyssa hands off the show in a candid and wide-ranging conversation with Jennifer about who she is, what she tackled in her first 90 days, and the strategic plan that will define the next era of home health, home care, hospice, Medicaid HCBS, and palliative care.

We get into the personal story behind Jennifer’s ‘why,’ the inflection point care at home is standing in right now, and the new Alliance framework of four pillars and Centers of Excellence. Then, we widen out from strategy to movement: how a diverse membership stays united, and what every member can do to help.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How Jennifer went from ICU nurse to national CEO, and why she said yes now
  • What she tackled on day one and where her focus is today
  • The four-pillar Strategic Plan and what Centers of Excellence actually mean
  • How care at home shifts from an industry into a movement
  • The one action every member should take after listening

The full relaunch of the podcast is coming soon, but don’t wait to tune in.
