Why Attend FUTURE?
Home Health Care News’ flagship in-person event for home health, home care and hospice executives includes networking and panel discussions with some of home health care’s most forward-looking CEOs, in addition to leaders from payers and health systems disrupting the traditional U.S. health care system.
If you haven’t been to FUTURE before, this is HHCN’s annual event that explores home-based care trends, with exclusive insights on where at-home care is headed in the months and years to come. In the past, for example, we’ve taken deep dives into hospital-at-home models (before they became widespread) while shedding light on the reimbursement challenges affecting in-home care providers most. This year, spotlight topics will include the continued evolution of home-based care services and supply-and-demand care economics, plus other key post-acute and long-term care issues.
FUTURE is for in-home care providers of all shapes and sizes, as well as investors and other stakeholders. The event will give attendees a better idea of how their business will change in the not-too-distant future, with tactical tips and strategic guidance from top thought leaders.

It was all going so well. Unprecedented demand. Record deal flow. Premium valuations. But then inflation. Rising interest rates. Staffing shortages. And now buyers are as skittish as cats on the Fourth of July. In this session, we take stock of the current home health mergers and acquisitions environment, and perhaps more importantly, discuss ways both buyers and sellers alike can take advantage of this temporary slowdown.

When providers sit down with payers, they want more money. But that’s generally not the best lens to take into those conversations. Instead, leaders have to find ways to address payer pain points, and offer solutions to those.
Startups and health systems have gotten more involved in alternative at-home models such as hospital at home. As more at-home care models emerge, experienced home care companies have a chance to capitalize.
