LINEUP OF KEYNOTE SPEAKERS:
TUESDAY, JUNE 23, 2026 | 9:00am - 10:00am
K100 | The Art of Innovation: How Creative Leadership Shapes Culture and Performance
Dr. Heather L. Hodges, PhD, Chief Executive, Officer & Founder, Hodges Group International, LLC
Home care and hospice leaders are navigating a perfect storm of challenges from turnover, staffing shortages, burnout, rising patient acuity, complex payment models, and Medicare cuts. The pressure is real, and while resources may be limited, creativity is not. In this unforgettable keynote, Heather blends art, stories, and research to show how creativity is the hidden engine that drives innovation, engagement, and performance. Through two live speed paintings and hands-on creative-thinking activities, Heather takes healthcare leaders on a transformative journey to rediscover their own creativity and learn how to spark it in others. Leaders will experience how creativity becomes the heartbeat of a thriving culture and fuels engagement, inspires innovation, and unlocks new solutions to the complex challenges facing post-acute care. They’ll leave inspired and equipped with a digital toolkit of exercises and leadership prompts to sustain creativity long after the event.
