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.
