SUNRISE, FL // FranchiseMarketingSolutions.com // February 22, 2023 – Jennifer Sheets, CEO and President of Interim HealthCare Inc, has been elected to the National Association for Home Care & Hospice’s (NAHC) Board of Directors. Her three-year term began on January 1, 2023.
“I am thrilled to join the NAHC Board of Directors and serve among a group of industry leaders I so greatly admire,” Jennifer Sheets commented. “The crux of my work over the past few years has centered around ensuring the stability and preservation of the vital services provided through home healthcare, and I look forward to helping further shape the future of our industry.”
Sheets is a longtime advocate of the home healthcare industry and over the past three years has spent countless hours working with federal and state governments to expand home care worker protections, increase funding and reimbursement rates, and enhance educational opportunities to boost employee recruitment and retention efforts.
Most recently, she joined other home healthcare industry leaders in meetings with key legislators and legal teams in Washington, D.C., which culminated in the drafting and introduction of the bipartisan Preserving Access to Home Health Act. She is also working to build grassroots advocacy efforts among Interim HealthCare’s franchisees and stakeholders to make the voices of their patients heard nationwide as the bill circulates through Congress.
In addition to her role at Interim HealthCare, Sheets also serves as president and CEO of its parent company, Caring Brands International. She has over 25 years of experience in healthcare management in both acute and post-acute settings. Prior to moving into healthcare administration, Jennifer was an ICU nurse, giving her a deep understanding of both sides of the care continuum and firsthand experience of how disconnected the healthcare delivery system can be. She still maintains her nurses license to this day.
The NAHC Board of Directors is responsible for governing and guiding the association to improve the delivery of care at home through advocacy and education. The board consists of 15 directors, including nine elected and six appointed members.
