Get ready to grab your coffee and your earbuds—it's time for the inaugural edition of our new bi-weekly segment, 'Home Care Updates', hosted by Bliss Pointer!

We know that following new policies and tracking legislation can be tough, but staying current is non-negotiable. We track the trending topics and top legislation each week to keep you updated, and this week, we're diving into the new legislation and legislators that are impacting the home health industry. We're making complex legislation understandable (and maybe even a little fun!).

What’s on the policy hit list this week?

• The CMS Final Home Health Rule: We break down the implications of this huge announcement.

• The VA 2026 Fee Schedule: Get the details on what's ahead for 2026.

• Federal & State Policy Pushes: Hear how advocates are gearing up for the next congressional push, about upcoming Advocacy Days that you can join, and all the critical legislative changes brewing in select states.

Your Call to Action: Don't just listen—participate! We're looking for your burning questions and topic suggestions! Send them to advocacy@heartsforhomecare.com for a chance to be answered on the show. Plus, you will learn how you can win prizes and be a part of the next update with Bliss.

As always, we would love for you to join H4HC's free advocacy program at heartsforhomecare.com, and support the frontline workers who provide care, and the clients who depend on them.
