Generic Hospice

When hospice reverts to the lowest common denominator and leaders obsess about metrics, it's time to speak. Self-inflated leaders assume clinicians give until their backs break, given no raises for years. A clinical ladder is a rainbow’s pot of gold. Others have a sorrier job and must be motivated by money. Abysmal leaders dangle extrinsic rewards for admission, hiring and EDBITA targets. “Sign on” bonuses entice people into a poor work environment. Employees’ voice equals their raise, zero.

Kindred's Low Bar Investor Presentation

StrangeTony,

Kindred Healthcare President spoke to the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Healthcare Conference in Las Vegas. An early remark expressed regret at keeping attendees away from the bar. Then he moved on:.

"God forbid you need hospice."

Many of our hospice patients spent their life bellying up to the bar. There is a price to pay for habitually seeking solace in things incapable of providing it.

Kindred at Home has 38,340 caregivers. How would they take his comment?

Eventually our hospice may need hospice due to high financial leverage and poor health choices.. Our President might recommend another drink or smoke to relieve anxiety.
