10 Years of Care: Brooke Sanders

Brooke Sanders joined us in 2016 and is currently working as a PTA for our home health branch. She was kind enough to talk with us about her experience as a part of the Haven team over the years.

What was Haven like when you started?

Haven has always been patient orientated and they expect their employees to have the same vision and work together to give the patients the best outcome.

 

What drew you to Haven?

Haven was looking for PRN staff and that is where I started to pick up extra hours when the clinic I was working at was slow.

 

What has made you stay with Haven?

I have stayed with Haven because the hours are flexible and they don’t ask us to do anything they would not do. They are very good about working with you and helping out their employees if they need help.

 

What has been the biggest change over your time here?

The biggest change has been the year of COVID which is true for most healthcare.

 

What is your favorite memory of working at Haven?

Some of the favorite memories of Haven is the little extra things they do for the employees whether its the company picnic, Christmas party or Therapy awareness month they always try and give recognition to their employees to let them know they are appreciated.

Why Ownership Matters:

At Haven Home Health and Hospice, we are proud to be the last locally-owned, independent, and clinician-led provider of home-based care in our region. While that may sound like a simple fact, it’s actually a defining difference—one that matters deeply to the quality of care our patients receive every day. In recent years, private equity firms and large corporate healthcare chains have rapidly bought out home health and hospice providers across the country, including right here in our community. What we’ve seen in the aftermath is troubling: rapid turnover of staff, shrinking time spent with patients, and decisions driven more by profit margins than by compassion, dignity, and clinical excellence. 

When ownership shifts from caregivers to corporations, priorities shift too. 

We believe healthcare should never be treated like a commodity. That’s why we’ve remained committed to local, clinician-led ownership—because we answer to patients, not shareholders. Our leadership is hands-on, involved, and invested in every life we touch. We believe that meaningful care takes time, intention, and heart—and it starts with the people who make the decisions. As owners who are also licensed clinicians, we understand the weight of the responsibility we carry. Our patients are not numbers in a spreadsheet. They are parents, grandparents, neighbors, and friends. And we believe they deserve the kind of care we’d want for our own families. We will continue to stand against the corporatization of healthcare, and we invite you to stand with us. Whether you’re a patient, a referral partner, or a member of the community, your trust makes it possible for us to preserve something rare and essential in today’s healthcare system: personalized, human-centered care. Because in the end, ownership isn’t just about who signs the papers—it’s about who shows up when it matters most.
