She and other home healthcare industry leaders recently met with key legislators and legal teams in Washington, D.C., which resulted in the bipartisan Preserving Access to Home Health Act. As the bill circulates through Congress, Sheets is working to build grassroots advocacy efforts among Interim HealthCare’s franchisees and stakeholders.
