Revenue cycle management has long been a cornerstone of financial success in home health, but what if there was a way to connect revenue, capacity, margin, and cash flow into one complete picture? In this episode of Home Health Revealed, host Hannah Vale sits down with Victoria Kuklina and Alex Shekaroff, founders of FinHealth, to discuss the emerging concept of Profit Cycle Management (PCM). Drawing from decades of experience in healthcare finance, operations, and technology, Victoria Kuklina and Alex Shekaroff explain how PCM helps agencies move beyond measuring performance to understanding the drivers behind it. Together, they explore how home health organizations can gain greater visibility into their financial operations, identify hidden revenue and profit leakage, improve accountability across departments, and make more informed decisions about growth, staffing, and cash flow. They also share the story behind FinHealth and how their platform is helping agencies turn complex data into actionable insights. Whether you're focused on financial stability, operational efficiency, or sustainable growth, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on what it takes to build a stronger healthcare organization in today's evolving landscape.

Randy Fearnow speaks with Jaya White, Partner, Quarles & Brady LLP, about the regulatory landscape surrounding the growing home infusion industry. They discuss issues related to the Medicare HIT benefit; home infusion-specific state licensure requirements; ambulatory infusion suites, IV hydration clinics, and med spas; Indiana's recent requirement that their Medicaid home care providers must also be certified for Medicare; and the regulatory definition of “homebound.” Jaya co-wrote an article for Health Law Connections about this topic.

It was 3 o'clock in the morning when Scott Middleton finally signed the papers. The merger was official. And within days, he was already on the road — visiting facilities, riding along with providers, and spotting the same gap everywhere he went: brilliant clinicians doing real work that was completely invisible to the system. In this episode of The Disrupted Podcast, Jamie sits down with Scott Middleton, calling in from Boston, to unpack what he's discovering on the ground in the newly merged Your Health organization — and why tracking your time isn't about paperwork. It's about protection, proof, and getting paid for every minute of care you're already delivering. What you'll hear in this episode: The Dr. Jeeve story: a high-producing doc who managed a nursing home crisis by phone, saved a patient from an unnecessary ER visit — and never billed for it, leaving Medicare with no record of his intervention Why not documenting a visit before a hospitalization doesn't just cost you revenue — it makes you look like a bad provider, even when you did everything right How insurance companies like United Healthcare boldly take 15% off the top of every healthcare dollar — and why that math means providers can't afford to give their time away for free The TCPA pattern Scott keeps seeing: 15,000–18,000 visits a month, almost entirely in nursing homes, with zero follow-up once patients go home The new post-discharge standard: every patient leaving a nursing home gets a telehealth visit within 48 hours, then weekly follow-up for four weeks — no one gets left in the gap This episode is a masterclass in understanding that documentation isn't bureaucracy — it's how you tell your story, protect your reputation, and keep the care you've already given from disappearing. www.YourHealth.Org

What does it actually cost when a doctor writes a verbal order over the phone instead of seeing the patient? Scott Middleton has the receipts — and the answer is going to make you rethink everything about how American healthcare spends its money. In this episode of The Disrupted Podcast, Scott announces a landmark three-way merger bringing Your Health together with Transitional Care Professionals of America (TCPA) out of Georgia and Providence Care, a hospice organization in South Carolina. The combined organization will serve approximately 55,000 active patients — not patients on a list, but people being seen regularly — and Scott lays out exactly how he's going to run it. What you'll hear in this episode: Why Scott's family owning 80% of the merged company changes everything about how decisions get made — and who they get made for The difference between fee-for-service and value-based care, and why the ACO model means every unnecessary hospitalization literally comes out of Your Health's pocket How Your Health's risk-adjustment-based visit model (16 visits per year per risk point) was independently validated by a new government study — and why it works The three things Scott is asking every new employee to do in the first weeks: align with a nurse practitioner, track every minute of care management, and recruit like their livelihood depends on it — because it does Why Scott's new management philosophy is six words: "Keep them out of the hospital and see your damn patients" This isn't a corporate announcement. It's a playbook for how healthcare can actually work when operators run the company, providers see their patients, and every minute of care gets counted. www.YourHealth.Org

Home health value-based purchasing continues to be one of the most important topics shaping agency performance, reimbursement, and patient outcomes. In this episode, Katie Eisel, Director of Payer Relations for the Ohio Community at Home Network (OCHN), joins the podcast to break down HHVBP in a practical, easy-to-understand way. Katie shares how agencies can simplify complex performance reports, engage clinicians in improvement efforts, and focus on the measures that have the greatest impact on results. The conversation explores the connection between clinician actions and HHVBP scores, strategies for improving OASIS-based measures and hospitalization outcomes, the role of HHCAHPS in overall performance, and why patient experience remains a critical piece of long-term success. Katie also discusses the differences between star ratings and HHVBP, common opportunities agencies overlook, and how organizations can build a culture of accountability and continuous improvement. Whether you are a clinical leader, executive, or operations professional, this episode offers practical insights to help your agency better understand HHVBP and turn performance data into meaningful action.

In hospice and home health, certain compliance problems can have a big impact on the organization's bottom line—and ability to keep operating. Even seemingly minor issues can affect whether the organization will be fully paid for services it provided, subject to financial penalties, or even barred from participating in a payment program. To help home health agencies and hospices spot and prevent these problems, Husch Blackwell has created checklists of top compliance issues for hospice and home health, plus template spreadsheets for prioritizing and addressing each. In this episode, Husch Blackwell's Bryan Nowicki, Andrew Brenton, and Josi Wergin discuss these tools and how you can use them.

In addition to facing the Medicare home health and hospice moratorium, New York home care providers have been grappling with the federal government's scrutiny of its Medicaid personal care program. The state defended the program appropriately, including pointing out that some of its data was off the mark, noted Al Cardillo, president and CEO of the Home Care Association of New York State. It's important not to paint the whole program with a broad brush of fraud and abuse when it might be an administrative problem, he pointed out. New York's Medicaid personal care program has a lot of anti-fraud protections, and the state actually rolled out Electronic Visit Verification before the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services took it to a national scale, commented Mordechai Wolhendler, founder and CEO of GlattHealth. One of the reasons the Medicaid personal care program has attracted so much national attention is it consumes most of the nation's Medicaid personal care dollars, Cardillo said. And now most of the program is the Consumer-Directed Personal Care Program (CDPAP), which allows the consumer to choose their caregiver who can be a family member. Internally, CDPAP has been dealing with a major transformation, moving more than 600 fiscal intermediaries to one. The lesson from this fraught experience is that stakeholders and the state are in it together, Wolhendler said.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.This week they highlight the Palisades Fire arsonist allegedly admits being inspired by Luigi Mangione, Democrats already plotting another government shutdown showdown ahead of the midterms, and shocking new reporting on massive home health Medicaid fraud in Ohio. Plus, McDonald's makes a major change that is not a good reflection on our culture.First, after the Left repeatedly blamed last year's devastating LA wildfires on climate change, we later learned it was an arsonist. And now that arsonist reportedly told prosecutors he was inspired to do it by Luigi Mangione murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in 2024 and wanted to send a warning to the wealthy. Jim and Greg also discuss the latest in the LA mayor's race.Next, they spotlight the top Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee openly admitting that Democrats are already considering a government shutdown this October unless their absurd ICE "reforms" are agreed to. How will this impact the midterm elections?Then, they spotlight explosive reporting from The Daily Wire's Luke Rosiak detailing more than $1 billion in alleged “home health” Medicaid fraud in Ohio. The scheme reportedly involves fraudulent companies billing Medicaid to pay individuals to care for family members—or in some cases, doing no work at all. Jim and Greg walk through some of the stunning details.Finally, Jim and Greg react to McDonald's moving the soda pop machines behind the counter and the reasons why its happening.Please visit our great sponsors:Fast Growing Trees Better plants, better growing, and an extra 20% off with code MARTINI at https://FastGrowingTrees.com/Martini for a limited time; terms and conditions may apply.Noble Gold Schedule a free gold strategy session with Noble Gold.

In this episode of Home Health Revealed, we sit down with Hope Mulliken, Help Desk Coordinator at the Ohio Council for Home Care and Hospice (OCHCH), to talk about what's really happening behind the scenes in home health operations today. From Medicaid and Medicare changes to rising denials, authorization delays, and audit pressure, Hope breaks down the challenges agencies are facing right now and why things continue to get more complex. We also explore the OCHCH Help Desk, where Hope supports both member agencies and the community with questions ranging from EVV and OASIS issues to appeals, compliance, and operational challenges. During the conversation, we affectionately refer to it as the “Hope Desk,” a nickname that stuck thanks to Hope's name and the fact that she's often the go-to for agency questions. Finally, we discuss defensible documentation, why every visit note needs to tell a complete clinical story, and how agencies can better protect themselves in today's regulatory environment.

In this episode of Home Health Revealed, we sit down with Victoria Barkin, Regional Director of Operations for Home Health at National Church Residences, to talk about what it really means to create a true continuum of care. Too often, care is delivered in silos. But patients don't experience it that way. Victoria shares real-world stories that highlight the gaps that can happen between settings and what it takes operationally and clinically to close them. From navigating complex discharges without an established physician to quickly transitioning a patient to hospice and avoiding an unnecessary hospitalization, this conversation brings the concept of “continuity” to life. We also dig into the role of relationships, both within an organization and across the community, and why having the right connections in place can make all the difference for patients and their caregivers. Whether your organization offers a full continuum of services or relies on trusted partners, this episode explores how home health leaders can better support patients through every stage of care.

What if the people case-managing your care had a financial reason to keep you sicker? That's the uncomfortable question Scott Middleton puts on the table in this episode — recorded live from the American Case Managers Conference in Orlando, where Scott went to learn, and ended up being told Your Health didn't "fit" because they weren't a hospital. Jamie and Scott unpack what the nurse case manager role actually looks like at Your Health — and why moving case management out of hospitals and into patients' homes isn't just better care, it's better economics. Scott shares the research proving the model works: 50% reduction in Medicare spend when patients are seen at the right frequency by the right people. In this episode: Why hospitalists may be "the demise of the American healthcare system" The difference between nurse practitioners (diagnose and treat) and nurse case managers (assess and guide) — and why blurring them costs patients The 16.05-visits-per-risk-point model David Clemens' research validated How coding departments are quietly diagnosing patients with diseases they don't have Why Medicare's 6-year insolvency window may be the disruption we need Head-to-toe assessments, delegation rights, and the real job of an RN in the home If you've ever suspected the system is working exactly as designed — just not for the patient — press play. www.YourHealth.Org

In this episode of Home Health Revealed, we sit down with Jessica Mandrell, owner of Lifesaver Healthcare, to talk through what it really looks like to step into ownership through acquisition, and what comes next. Jessica shares her experience purchasing an established agency, what made the transition smoother than expected, and the lessons that came quickly, like navigating prior authorizations, understanding Medicare billing, and making sure the right processes are in place from day one. The conversation also gets into the realities of cash flow during ownership transitions, including how strong financial footing can help offset the challenges of the “J curve” as new owners find their rhythm. But at the center of it all is culture. From retaining experienced staff to building a leadership mindset that prioritizes people, Jessica talks about why growth isn't just about scaling, it's about investing in the team that makes it possible. If you're thinking about acquiring an agency, stepping into a new leadership role, or looking to strengthen your operations as you grow, this episode offers a practical, honest look at what it takes.

What's really happening in home health and hospice right now? A look at Ohio tells the story. In this episode,Lisa VonLehmden from Ohio Council for Home Care and Hospice shares how the landscape is shifting across the state, from growing demands on agencies to the increasing need for real support and engagement at the association level. She talks through the rapid growth of the Ohio Council, what's driving it, and how a more hands-on, experience-driven approach is making a difference for providers. The conversation also explores the connection between clinical care and financial performance, why agencies are being pushed to think differently, and how stronger collaboration across teams is becoming essential. This is a grounded, real-world look at what it takes to navigate home health and hospice today.

Documentation in home health has always been essential, but it hasn't always supported clinicians and agencies in the way it needs to. In this episode of Home Health Revealed, we explore the evolution of home health documentation—from paper and pen to EMRs and now ambient AI—and what each stage has solved, as well as what gaps still remain. Joined by Sandeep Banga and Andrew Ostrander from Scribble, the conversation focuses on the space between what happens in the home and what gets captured in documentation, and how that gap directly impacts quality, compliance, and reimbursement. We also dig into how agencies are thinking differently about documentation today, not just as an administrative task, but as a core driver of clinician experience, retention, coding accuracy, and financial performance. Finally, we break down what ambient AI looks like in real workflows and why capturing documentation at the point of care is becoming increasingly important to closing the gap between care and cash. If your agency is thinking about the future of documentation and how it impacts both clinical and operational outcomes, this episode offers a grounded look at where things are headed.

Most providers interrupt their patients within 18 seconds. What if the next few minutes of silence could tell you more than the next hour of testing? In Part 2 of the Your Health Values Series, Jamie  sits down again with members of the Your Health Experience Team — Rebecca, Jennifer, Whitney,  and Carlos — to go beneath the surface of "patient-centered care" and look at what empathy really demands in the pressured, everyday moments of healthcare. This isn't a conversation about being nice. It's a conversation about seeing people — patients, families, and colleagues — for everything they're carrying, even when they're hiding it behind a smile. In this episode: Why empathy is officially non-negotiable at Your Health — and what that looks like in practice The difference between emotional empathy and "empathetic sternness" (and why both save lives) How to recognize when a patient or colleague is carrying something deeper than their symptoms The real threat of empathy fatigue — and how to keep giving without burning out The two "holy times" in healthcare where empathy matters most What patients actually say when they feel truly seen If you've ever wondered whether the extra 60 seconds is worth it, this episode will show you why it's everything. Press play — and then try it on your very next interaction. www.YourHealth.Org

What if the healthcare system your loved one relies on doesn't even know they need help until it's too late — and what would it look like if it did? In this Q1 2026 episode, Jamie Preston sits down with Matt Staub, CEO of Your Health, for a candid and wide-ranging look at how one of the country's largest home-based care providers is navigating the evolving landscape of value-based care, population health, and the human experience at the center of it all. Matt brings his characteristic clarity and heart to a conversation that is equal parts strategy, story, and honest reckoning with what the system still gets wrong. Key topics covered: Why 11% of patients account for 67% of all healthcare spending — and why most of them don't know they're in an ACO The evolution of value-based care: from quality-over-cost to outcomes + patient experience over total costs How Your Health is becoming proactive — not reactive — about falls, readmissions, and high-needs patients The quiet crisis of patient trust: down from 71% in 2020 to just 33% today, and what the correlation means for hospitalizations Real stories: a 79-year-old patient who went from barely existing to living fully — and Matt's own mom, who hasn't fallen since leaving the hospital after her stroke If you work in healthcare, advocate for someone in the system, or simply believe that better is possible — this episode will change the way you see what care can be.

“Palliative care is always available,” says Jennifer Eitingon, M.D., fellowship-trained Palliative Care Physician at Home Health and Hospice in Rapid City. Dr. Eitingon joins host Mark Houston to explain how palliative care is a specialty and not just a part of hospice care. In treating patients experiencing life-limiting conditions, Dr. Eitingon helps to improve quality of life through pain management, psychosocial support and advanced directives.

In this episode of Home Health Revealed, we sit down with Jeremy Collier of the Ohio Council for Home Care and Hospice to explore how home health and hospice are evolving and what it means for providers today. We discuss the difference between Medicare and Medicaid care models, often described as “pit stops vs lifelong care,” and how those philosophies shape patient experience, care delivery, and long-term outcomes. Jeremy also shares insights on the current state of hospice, including common misconceptions, emerging opportunities, and the importance of education in helping patients and families better understand the benefit. The conversation also dives into the growing role of collaboration in home care, including clinically integrated networks like OCHN, and how stronger relationships between providers and payers are helping move the industry forward. As reimbursement pressures, regulatory changes, and care demands continue to evolve, home health agencies are being challenged to rethink how they operate and how they define success.

Send us Fan MailEvery year, millions of Americans end up in emergency rooms and hospital beds for conditions that could be treated just as well, and far more safely,in their own homes. So why does care still default to the most expensive, most disruptive setting possible? And who's actually doing something about it?Lon Hecht, CEO, Care2U joins host David Williams, President of Health Business Group to discuss bringing high-acuity care into the home, why hospital at home has struggled to scale, and how payers and providers are finally starting to align around a better model.

Today I'm joined by Theresa Emanuel, the host of Faith Food Fellowship podcast, and we're talking about something that goes way beyond just food and fitness. Because if you've ever felt like your habits are off, your routines are cluttered, your mind feels noisy… and no matter how many times you try to “get back on track,” something just isn't clicking—this conversation is for you. Theresa has created something really special called Spring Clean With God: Clear the Clutter from your Heart, Home, Habits, Health, and Head, and I love the way it takes a step back and looks at the whole picture. (It's happening March 24-26 and it's free!) Not just what you're eating or how you're working out—but what's going on in your heart, your head, your home… and how all of that connects to your health. And honestly? This is the piece a lot of women are missing. So today we're diving into what it really means to “clear the clutter,” why it matters more than you think, and how this kind of reset can make everything else feel a whole lot more doable.   Register free for the Spring Clean with God Mini-Summit here: https://20205508--p31virtues.thrivecart.com/spring-clean-mini-summit/   Listen to Faith Food Fellowship with Theresa Emanuel here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/faith-food-fellowship-self-care-strategies-for-busy/id1546685414   Connect with Amy Bryan here:  www.linktr.ee/amybryanfasterway   

Is your home helping your health… or quietly working against it? We talk a lot about workouts and nutrition, but there's another layer of health that many Christian women are just beginning to pay attention to: home health and environmental wellness. What we breathe.What we cook with.What we clean with.What we drink from. These everyday choices inside our homes can quietly affect inflammation, hormones, energy levels, and overall wellness. But here's the tension. When you first start learning about things like non-toxic living, environmental toxins, clean home swaps, and detoxing your home, it's incredibly easy to spiral. Suddenly it feels like everything is toxic.Every product feels like a problem.And instead of improving your health, you feel overwhelmed. In this episode of Simple Fitness Habits, we're talking about a balanced, faith-grounded approach to detoxing your home health without obsessing, panicking, or trying to overhaul your entire life overnight. Because health isn't built through fear.It's built through simple rhythms and wise stewardship over time. You'll learn how to think about environmental health, non-toxic swaps, and healthy home habits in a way that supports your body without creating stress or perfectionism. This conversation is especially important for Christian women who want to care for their bodies and homes well while still keeping their focus on Christ instead of control. In This Episode • Why home health and environmental wellness matter for your overall health• The hidden ways your home environment can affect energy, hormones, and inflammation• Why many women spiral when they start learning about toxins and non-toxic living• A simple approach to detoxing your home without overwhelm• The mindset shift that helps you focus on progress instead of perfection• Small healthy home swaps that can make a meaningful difference over time• How to pursue better health while staying rooted in faith and stewardship Resources Mentioned Christian Fitness Hub (Free Resource Library)Short workouts, a 5-day workout challenge, and simple tools to help you build consistency with your fitness.

Raven was born in 1949 in North Hollywood, CA. Released at five days old to the delivering doctor and his wife, she has no idea where she went or when her adoptive parents got her. Raised in Balboa, CA, she always knew she was adopted because she was told her mother had died, giving birth to her. This story left Raven anxious, guilty, and fearful throughout her growing-up years- that others would die, and she would be alone. Her adoption into the family was difficult, unloving, and emotionally abusive by her adoptive mother. Though her dad loved her, being 47 years old, his generation didn't really know how to show love. At 16, Raven was sent away to an island in British Columbia to live with strangers for 13 months and to attend 11th grade. Out of sight, out of mind. When she was in her early 30s, her oldest adoptive brother shared with her that her biological mother hadn't died when she was born. This news left her in shock and numb… talk about being thrown into a deep fog! Though Raven's whole life history was about death, lies, abandonment, lack of trust, she's gone on to find she has a deep desire, after the death of her husband, to sit with the dying.~ that it's important and a gift, that we make death as meaningful as birth. At 77, she's still learning who she is and works at Home Health and Hospice as a Remote Patient Monitoring Technician. A job she loves.

In this episode of Home Health Revealed, Hannah Vale sits down with Ethan from Flychain to talk about the truth behind AI in home health and hospice, and why agencies are feeling both excitement and uncertainty about what automation really means for the future of the industry. They discuss how AI is already being used across clinical, operational, and financial workflows, why payers are leveraging automation to review and deny claims at scale, and what providers can do now to stay ahead. The conversation also explores how better data integration, stronger revenue cycle processes, and clearer financial visibility can help agencies protect margin while continuing to grow. Hannah and Ethan also talk through the importance of having the right tech stack, how financial and operational data need to work together, and why agencies that understand their numbers will be in the strongest position as reimbursement pressure continues. If you are a home health or hospice leader trying to understand where AI fits into your organization, this episode breaks down the hype, the reality, and what agencies should be doing now to future-proof their operations. Listeners interested in learning more about the tools discussed in this episode can visit Flychain to explore financial visibility and AI-driven reporting solutions, or learn more about revenue cycle strategy and performance improvement through HealthRev Partners.

But health experts isn't necessarily the first thing that comes to mind when a home buyer goes to book a home inspection prior to buying a home. However, what if they could be? Home inspectors see more homes inside and out than almost any profession in the real estate industry second only to realtors. What if we were trained to not only identify structural and major system issues, but also potential environmental health issues? As building science begins to dominate discussions around real estate and residential construction, the way we think about health intersects directly as we continue to learn to view a home as one major system. Air leaks, poor or improper ventilation, and moisture intrusion can all factor into mold growth. Proper site location can affect a home owner's health long before the home even exists. Illness is often the final symptom of factors that have existed long before the human body even knows there's an issue. We already test for radon... so what if we learned to look out for common sense issues that could allow us to not just advocate for home buyers... but also for their long-term health? Cristina Greenfield, of Conscious Healthy Home, has some ideas as to how we can do just that.

Own Your Health is about taking responsibility for your body before it breaks down. In this episode, Katie Brindle explores the concept of a “home health holiday” – a preventative approach to midlife wellbeing that focuses on regeneration rather than reaction. After personally trialling cutting-edge regenerative therapies including hyperbaric oxygen, ozone therapy, LED light therapy and hydrogen therapy, Katie shares what genuinely made a difference to her energy, sleep, inflammation, weight, skin and overall sense of vitality – and crucially, how you can replicate many of the benefits at home, for free or at low cost. This episode is especially relevant if you're: - Feeling tired, worn down or “not quite yourself” - Curious about regenerative medicine and modern wellness - Navigating midlife health and want to age well, not just cope - Interested in preventative health rather than crisis-driven care Katie also explains why January is biologically the best time of year to rest, restore and invest in your health – and why waiting for symptoms to appear is the biggest mistake most people make. This is not about quick fixes or detox trends. It's about giving back to your body, before it asks for help.

Police say a home health nurse is caught on surveillance video taping a nonverbal, quadriplegic teen’s mouth shut, covering her face, and shaking her during an overnight shift, which investigators described as torture. The abuse is discovered when the girl’s mother reviewed the footage, leading to the nurse’s arrest and a broader review to determine whether other patients may have been harmed.

What really happens when a nurse walks through a patient's front door instead of a hospital doorway? In this episode of Home Health Revealed, host Hannah Vale heads into the field with home health nurses in snowy Northeast Ohio and then sits down with leaders from Lorain County Community College and the Ohio Council for Home Care & Hospice to unpack what she witnessed firsthand. You'll hear from: Christopher Hirschler, Dean of the Health and Wellness Science Division at Lorain County Community College Lisa Von Lemden, Ohio Council for Home Care & Hospice Hannah DiVencenzo, Program Developer at Lorain County Community College Cynthia Kushner, Director of School, Workforce and Community partnerships Abigail Farabaugh, Career and Academic Advisement Professional Together, they share powerful stories from recent ride‑alongs: organizing overflowing baskets of medications, navigating homes transformed into care spaces, and supporting families through heartbreaking seasons with remarkable resilience. You'll also hear about those “oh no” moments—like expired blood tubes in the trunk—and how strong team backup turns solo visits into a true network of care. Listen in to learn: Why being invited into a patient's home is “sacred” work and how it reveals social determinants of health in real time, from housing quality to family support to mental health. How home health nurses flex between roles—clinician, educator, advocate, problem‑solver, even “therapist”—often in the same visit. What schedule flexibility, point‑based pay models, and documentation from home actually look like in a real nurse's day (including coffee breaks between visits). How AI and technology are changing preparation for visits, decision‑making, and mentorship for newer nurses entering home health.  Why home care can be a smart career move for nurses who want autonomy, meaningful one‑on‑one time with patients, and strong earning potential—without punching a time clock. The episode also highlights new workforce and education partnerships, including a $2 million Department of Higher Education investment into the Center for Community Based Care to grow and support the next generation of home health and hospice clinicians across Ohio. Lorain County Community College shares how it is exposing students to home health early—through ride‑alongs, pathways content, and mentorship—so they can discover if this deeply relational kind of nursing is the right fit. If you're: A nursing student wondering what's beyond the ICU or med‑surg, A nurse craving more control over your time and deeper patient relationships, or An educator or leader trying to build stronger home health pathways… …this episode will challenge your assumptions about what nursing “has” to look like and show you what's possible when care comes to the couch instead of the bedside.
