Rachel Hammon: A Homecare and Hospice Nurse’s Perspective on Healthcare Perspectives on Healthcare

    • Medicine

We hear a homecare and hospice nurse’s perspective on healthcare from Rachel Hammon on this episode of the Perspectives on Healthcare Podcast with Rob Oliver. Rachel is a member of Generation X. She joined the podcast from Texas where she is the Executive Director of the Texas Association of Homecare and Hospice. Previously, she was a nurse within the hospital setting as well as the home care setting. As you will hear in the interview, she is also a passionate advocate for patients and their right to receive care in the environment of their choosing.

Here are 3 things that stood out as Rachel Hammon gave us a homecare and hospice nurse’s perspective on healthcare:


Homecare is extremely diverse. It represents a variety of care options, differing time lengths of treatment, and serves individuals of all ages, from children to seniors.
Quality healthcare means timely access to care in an environment of the patient’s choosing, including the option to receive services within the home.
The ability to provide quality care throughout the healthcare system has been challenged by the current labor market. Additionally, wages for home care workers and nurses can present a challenge.
