Two days of essential education!

March 25 & 26, 2026 in Columbus, Ohio

Featuring keynotes by Palmetto GBA, the SFC is the only conference of its kind in Ohio. Innovators and thought leaders from around the country will convene in Columbus this spring with presentations that will directly benefit your organization and career.

“The Spring Financial Conference held annually by the Ohio Council for Home Care & Hospice proves to be invaluable year after year, and it is one of the few conferences that is mandatory within my organization for not only clinical and operational managers, but also for billing personnel. The content of the Conference is structured, relevant, and worthy of the time we spend away from our day-to-day business. I encourage everyone to attend this conference!” – Catie Bryan, CEHCH, CEO of Bella Care Hospice
