Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the challenges that come with leading hospice and palliative care programs?  Join us for this episode as Chris Comeaux, TCNtalks Host, talks about  passion for hospice and palliative care, and explore the complexities of leadership within this industry.  With his 28 years of experience and authoring a book on leadership,  tackles a  unique Future External Environmental Scan (FEES) process, a sophisticated way to plot your course for the future and guide your decision-making.

Navigating the challenges in the healthcare industry can seem like a daunting task, but we're here to break it down for you. From demographic and workforce obstacles to reimbursement, EMR, and regulatory challenges, Chris discusses ways to access capital, maximize fundraising, and leverage philanthropy efforts to overcome these hurdles. With the added impact of COVID-19, the looming insolvency of Medicare, and the influence of private equity on healthcare, we provide valuable insight into customers' perceptions of healthcare, tax status of hospitals, nonprofit governance, and the effects of private equity on competition and substitution.

But it's not all challenges and obstacles; Chris also explores reculturing our organizations and creating a defensible moat to stand strong against competition. Highlighting the importance of a strong company culture that reflects its leadership, as well as the concept of 'digging a moat' to protect your business.  Remember, life is either a daring adventure or nothing, so come along for the ride as we help hospice and palliative care leaders navigate the ever-changing landscape of this vital industry.
