Open Meeting with State Association Leaders
The partnerships between AAHomecare and the state and regional associations have shown success for the industry, and helping HME stakeholders better understand the work being done at the state level should help to expand that success, says Laura Williard, vice president of Payer Relations for AAHomecare.
“The hope with these sessions is to create a better understanding of how support of the state and regional associations and AAHomecare can help their companies,” she explains. “We continue to hear of the individual problems that companies are having and many times and do not know where to turn next to solve these issues. These sessions will discuss the issues being tackled in each state and get them involved.”
