Join us for a heartfelt conversation, with our guest Carla Davis, a senior vice president at LHC Group, as we delve into the transformative impact of hospice and palliative care. Carla's personal journey to hospice care will inspire you as we explore the recent acquisition of LHC by Optum Health Services and its implications for the aging population in the U.S.

  

During our discussion, we'll examine the recent research findings from the NORC study and the NEBR study for hospice and palliative care. We'll also address the important issue of fraud and abuse in the sector and how it impacts the quality of care provided to patients. Carla will share a poignant personal story about her father and how hospice care brought comfort and peace during his final days.

As we look to the future, we'll consider the integration of hospice care and its profound potential to enrich lives. Don't miss this opportunity to gain insight into the power of hospice and palliative care and how it can bring peace, comfort, and closure to those at the end of their lives.

Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that will touch your heart.  Join us, this is timely and relevant.
