In this episode, Brendan and Lisa sit down with Liana Shahijani, FNP-BC, founder of Reverence Home Health, who shares her journey from hospice nurse practitioner to home health agency owner. Liana opened her Medicare-certified agency in February 2024 without using a consultant, researching everything herself alongside her business partner. She gets real about the challenges of building referrals when you're not a natural salesperson, using AI tools like ChatGPT to navigate complex documentation requirements, and running a lean operation with just two partners plus contract therapy services. Despite having no prior home health experience, Liana leveraged her 18+ years of clinical expertise and determination to create an agency focused on filling care gaps she witnessed in hospice and assisted living settings. Whether you're considering starting your own agency or just curious about what it takes, this conversation offers honest, practical insights from someone living the entrepreneurial journey right now.

The Home Health Suit + Scrubs Podcast is your weekly dose of real talk for home health clinicians. Hosted by Dan Haggerty—a national home health therapy executive—and three seasoned home health PTs, Lisa Thompson, Dan Catuccio, and Brendan Kirby, each episode dives into the topics that matter most: safety, efficiency, clinical care, and career growth. Whether you’re a new grad or a home health veteran, you’ll find practical tips, relatable stories, and candid conversations designed to help you thrive in the field. From navigating tricky documentation to setting boundaries and staying safe on the road, Suit + Scrubs blends real-world insight with a touch of humor to make your commute between visits more useful—and more fun.
