From the DOJ to the Defense Table: What Hospice Operators Need to Hear

Written by Maxwell TEC | May 20, 2026

Maxwell TEC is a proud sponsor of Last Visit First with Tom Maxwell, a podcast bringing leaders, innovators, and caregivers together to talk honestly about the choices shaping the future of home health and hospice. 

Former DOJ prosecutor Jonathan Porter joins Tom Maxwell for the Season 2 premiere of Last Visit First, and the timing could not be more critical. With CMS announcing a nationwide enrollment moratorium on hospice and home health agencies and over 440 providers already suspended, every operator in the industry needs to understand what is actually happening and what to do about it.

He knows exactly how this machine works from both sides of the table, and he is not holding back.
