Graham Healthcare Group, a subsidiary of Graham Holdings Company (NYSE:
GHC), is intensifying its growth strategy of investing in joint ventures
with hospital operators. The organization currently partners with 5
companies across 3 states to manage post-acute services and is pleased
to announce that Shellé Jones has joined Graham Healthcare Group as Vice
President of Strategic Partnerships.
Previously, Jones was Vice President of Strategic Partnerships with
Dallas-based AccentCare, Inc.
“Shellé has in-depth experience in post-acute care leadership roles in
operations, sales, and strategy in the healthcare arena, ideally
positioning her to take the lead in strategic partnerships with Graham
Healthcare Group,” said David Curtis, CEO of Graham Healthcare Group
Home Health and Justin DeWitte, CEO of Graham Healthcare Group Hospice.
“I am excited to be working with the team at Graham Healthcare to grow
our organization through strategic partnership development,” said Jones.
“When well executed, strategic partnerships enable our teams to deliver
better care and improve outcomes for patients.”
In a time when projected growth of the US population over 65 is growing
rapidly and reimbursement is increasingly tied to outcomes beyond the
walls of acute-care settings, high performing home-based post-acute care
assets are an essential tool in improving patient outcomes and driving
improved profitability. With a history of successful home-based
post-acute care operations, collaborative partnerships, and financial
stability, Graham Healthcare Group is the ideal partner for health
systems, physician groups, and senior living providers who either
currently own home-based post-acute assets or would like to.
Jones will be instrumental in supporting Graham Healthcare’s partner
organizations to develop and execute an integrated home-based post-acute
strategy that supports the unique needs of the communities they serve.
