Ascension at Home Together with Compassus recently opened their doors to State Senator Andre Jacque (R-DePere), hosting the veteran lawmaker at their Sturgeon Bay, WI office.

Compassus is a national leader in providing high-quality, compassionate, person-centered care to individuals wherever they call home. Their continuum of post-acute care services ensures patients and their families have the support they need to address current and future health needs.

Led by WiAHC Board Chair and Compassus Regional Quality Director Jayne Thill, the Compassus team (including Donna Moens, Executive Director; and Marla Wills, Director of Clinical Services) spent over an hour with Sen. Jacque discussing the value of home health care for patients, the mission of WiAHC, and the regulatory and legislative challenges faced by the home health industry. Much of the discussion focused on the growing workforce shortage in the health care sector and how it is impacting home health.

WiAHC thanks Jayne and her dedicated team for hosting Sen. Jacque and participating in WiAHC’s

legislative advocacy outreach program. Our advocacy efforts aim to connect members with their local state lawmakers to advocate for programs and policies that improve the delivery of home health care, support home health professionals, and enhance home health services provided to patients.
