will ensure that your organization is ready to grow your referral sources while providing a niche market to those that have served our country so well. In this presentation
Tammy Ross will speak with retired Air Force Col. Terry Ross about where home care organizations and veterans can find the funding needed to cover care in the home
and will discuss practical considerations for caring for veterans.
