Message from the Chair | October 2025

We are finally into the Fall season and cooler weather.  This is a nice change of season.  CAHSAH is also looking for a change of season.  Joe Hafkenschiel has stepped in as the interim President of CAHSAH.  But the CAHSAH Board of Directors has started the interview process to find a permanent President.  We have narrowed the applicants down and hopefully we will locate a new President by the end of October.

The Board of Directors will also be meeting in October – looking toward the future for CAHSAH.  The Board will be looking to update many of CAHSAH’s documents and policies.  We look to re-innovate how CAHSAH functions so that the new President will have a clear modernized path.

CAHSAH does have great classes this fall. There is something for everyone.  2026 Home Health Final Rule - Survive an audit, HHVBP Updates, and more; Legal Update: Fraud and Abuse, Enforcement and Compliance, Referral Rela; Hospice Final Rule, Survive an audit, HOPE tool, and more; Discharge Function Score - Outcome Scores and 2026 Reimbursement Webinar; and PDGM class.  In addition, CAHSAH does have on-demand webinars.  Please review the CAHSAH website for all of the offerings this fall.

And just a reminder, CAHSAH has been a staple for the Home Health, Hospice and Home Care communities for many years.  The Board of Directors is looking to continue and strengthen the CAHSAH tradition. and being a strong voice for us all. Change is good, and I look forward to the changing season to bring good things to CAHSAH and our industry.
