Dr. Heather Hodges
We’re thrilled to announce our keynote speaker for the 2026 Annual Forum, Dr. Heather Hodges! With a remarkable background in homecare and a passion for hospice, she will deliver an inspiring keynote that sets the tone for an unforgettable event.
As an organizational psychologist, professional artist, and a leadership expert, she brings a rare integration of research, art, and industry insight to the stage. Her keynotes aren’t lectures; they’re experiences. Through live speed paintings she delivers a visceral performance of the creative process and demonstrates what’s possible when we unleash human creativity.
