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.
In this episode of Last Visit First, industry pioneer April Anthony shares her journey from unexpectedly acquiring her first home health agency at 25 to founding and leading major organizations like Encompass Home Health, Homecare Homebase, and VitalCaring Group.
Guided by faith and resilience, she reflects on how early challenges shaped her leadership philosophy—and how her focus on culture, innovation, and compassion continues to redefine care at home.
From realizing that “if you take great care of your people, they’ll take great care of your patients” to building Homecare Homebase out of necessity, April’s story captures the balance of grit, grace, and purpose behind her success. She also opens up about the lessons she learned from working alongside her husband, her insights on AI, efficiency, and Medicare Advantage.
