The healthcare landscape is transforming before our eyes, shifting away from hospital-centered care toward home-based models. This fundamental change raises urgent questions about Medicare's outdated reimbursement systems, particularly for hospice providers facing the reality of a mere 2.6% rate increase while battling significant inflation.

Discover the challenges and opportunities within the current regulatory framework and gain valuable insights into strategic actions for the future.  So join us, this is a great listen for staff, leaders, and Boards of hospice and palliative care organizations.  This is timely and relevant.
