Today is National Coming Out Day, and our opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to creating a workplace in which every team member can be their true, authentic selves at work.

If the past two years have taught us anything, it's that caring for our mental health can be just as important as caring for our physical health. Click here for more information from the World Health Organization on depression and what you can do: https://hubs.li/H0Z3RBr0.

On this World Hospice and Palliative Care Day, we honor all our passionate clinicians who provide compassionate and industry-leading quality care to those who need us the most. Find out more about our hospice services at https://hubs.li/H0Z3LCz0.

We were beyond honored to be named one of Modern Healthcare's 2021 Best Places to Work! Hear from our people on what this means for us.

Each of us has our own reason for getting vaccinated, from protecting ourselves, loved ones and patients to personal experiences. Each week, we'll share why our people choose to get vaccinated in our #MyWhy series. First up - Dr. Amy Moss, SVP of Hospice Clinical Operations.

Amedisys is proud to celebrate Women Physicians Day by highlighting these remarkable physicians among our leadership team: Dr. Amy Moss, SVP of Hospice Clinical Operations, and Dr. Abi Katz and Dr. Aye Aung, Executive Medical Directors. "My advice to younger women, is to find that small circle of confidence that will support and encourage you -- but that will also be honest and authentic with you," said Dr. Moss.

Congratulations to our colleague Sherrie Bias-Hill, Hospice Volunteer Coordinator in Evansville, Indiana, for being chosen to serve on the National Hospice & Palliative Care Organization’s Board on Diversity and Inclusion! We’re proud to advance the cause of true inclusion, ensuring that all our team members, patients and partners feel welcomed and valued.

Amedisys joins millions of Americans in celebrating Black History Month, a time to reflect, acknowledge African Americans’ accomplishments and their invaluable contributions to society and to learn more about the effects of racism and how to challenge negative stereotypes.

We’re moving in the right direction, CEO Paul Kusserow said. I think we are way ahead of the industry. I think as people start to see our success and understand that diversity is one of the key pillars our success is built on, my hope is that others move toward this.
