Partnership for Quality Home Healthcare Combines Efforts with Alliance

WASHINGTON – The Board of Directors of the Partnership for Quality Home Healthcare (PQHH) plans to cease operations of the organization effective March 1, 2025. Moving forward, the PQHH Board of Directors will combine efforts with the National Alliance for Care at Home (the Alliance).

By establishing a unified and robust industry voice through the Alliance, the PQHH Board of Directors hopes to advance the public policy and regulatory issues affecting the home health community’s shared vision of a healthcare system that fully recognizes the essential role of home health in delivering compassionate and value-driven care.

“We have the deepest gratitude for all who have served this organization and championed PQHH’s mission, especially our Chief Executive Officer Joanne Cunningham, who has expertly managed and successfully driven PQHH’s agenda and advocacy for nearly 7 years,” said David Baiada, PQHH Chairman. “Joanne’s commitment to this sector and expertise in planning and executing federal advocacy is unmatched in the home health community and will continue to have a positive, lasting impact on our industry and our patients.”

Since its founding in 2010, PQHH has been dedicated to ensuring access to high-quality home healthcare for all Americans. Throughout its history, PQHH has maintained an unwavering focus on this mission, including in this pivotal moment.

“Through the work of the Partnership and the Alliance, the Medicare home health community has forged strong relationships in Congress and with CMS that have well positioned the sector for future success, and which we look forward to building upon in the future,” said Steven Landers, MD, MPH, Chief Executive Officer of the Alliance. “With a unified industry voice, we can continue to educate the policy community on the importance of care at home to American families.”

The PQHH Board of Director’s decision to combine efforts with the Alliance follows careful consideration of the current state of home health policy, the post-election political landscape, and significant industry developments.

“By combining efforts with the Alliance, we look forward to strengthening the unity and resources of our sector,” added Baiada.
