CHANGEMAKERS 2021

In 2021, perhaps more than ever, the hospice industry has both confronted and embraced a common theme: change. Based on shifting policies, a dynamic payment landscape and growing consumer sentiment, today’s hospice leaders need to manage and drive a changing industry that provides a critical service.

This year, we’re pleased to introduce our 2021 class of Changemakers.

The Hospice News editorial team conducted in-depth interviews with each one of our 2021 Changemakers, with the aim of sharing their perspectives, best practices and lessons learned in hopes to help all hospice leaders spark positive change in their organizations, and across the industry going forward.
