Description

Health care is one of our nation’s largest industries and employers. Though worker-owned cooperatives have a fairly significant presence in this industry, largely through home care, only about 2% of ESOPs are in healthcare. But these dynamics may also change as more clinics, private practices, and direct-care companies look to employee ownership to strengthen their performance, create better jobs, and retain their independence. Some advocates also argue that employee ownership may also be able to support better patient and client outcomes. Join this conversation as panelists examine the current state of employee ownership in healthcare and how the model might help strengthen the industry.

Speakers
  • Katrina Kazda, Vice President of Home Care Innovations, The ICA Group
  • Terry Leahy, CEO, MyPath Companies
  • Terrell Cannon, Director of Training and Workforce Development, Home Care Associates
  • Moderator: Adria Scharf, Associate Director, Institute for the Study of Employee Ownership and Profit Sharing
