Alison Phillips

Managed the overall functioning of the hospice branch including budget, staffing and overall site growth.

Evaluate referrals in conjunction with MD's to determine eligibility requirements for hospice admission.

Monitoring care and documentation for regulatory and compliance measures.

Since employed with Kindred I originally was a case manager and managed a patient load up to 21 pts at a time. During this time, due to the autonomy of the hospice field, my assessment skills and background helped me be "the eyes" for the hospice MD's when relaying the patient's needs and issues that would arise in order for them to be properly treated medically.

I was then promoted in 2017 to clinical manager and managed the other 10 nurses as well as training and education. Then in 2019 I was promoted to the Executive Director position
