Welcome back to the NHPCO Podcast! After a hiatus, we are back with a new season and a new host, Madison Summers.

Over the course of 10 episodes, this season will focus on the evolution of the Hospice Benefit, tapping NHPCO staff and members for their expertise in the field and at the national level.

On today’s episode, Madison sits down with NHPCO COO and Interim CEO, Ben Marcantonio, to discuss the origins of the benefit and where we’re headed next as a community including program integrity efforts, changes in the prognosis and models of care, and the importance of unity.
