President's Message

Posted: December 13, 2022

First, thank you to VP Chris Chimenti for filling in for me in the last issue of House Calls. I appreciate his kind and thoughtful words as well as those that several other members shared upon the passing of my father.

Have you listened to Dr. Tim Dunn’s nearly hour-long interview with Cindy Krafft on “All Things OASIS” yet? It is amazing! Cindy approaches OASIS-E (and several other topics) with her usual wit and expertise, and we’ll be hearing a lot more from Dr. Dunn, our new OASIS program director, in the coming weeks as his training series rolls out. Watch for this series of online modules in January, along with more podcast interviews with industry leaders!

Finally, let’s all pause for a moment and remember Douglas Brant. Mr. Brant was a home health nurse in the Spokane, WA, area who was murdered on December 1 by a client’s family member during a visit. While the exact circumstances around this tragedy are unclear, the safety of all home health providers should be sacrosanct. Always pay attention to your surroundings, and always leave yourself a way out!
