Board of Directors

HCA’s Board of Directors is responsible for promoting and implementing a vision and strategic policy direction for the home care industry and the Association.

The Board of Directors and HCA’s overall governance structure work efficiently and effectively to provide leadership that guides the direction of HCA’s policy, advocacy, educational and overall operational work. When a major new policy development, scenario or problem emerges, you can be assured that HCA has worked quickly and thoroughly as a team to gain input, direction, consultation and resolve, where needed, from the industry’s best and brightest field‐level experts on our Board who represent the full continuum of home care programs and regional demographics.
