John Ray, Co-Host & Founder
John Ray brings over 30 years of dedicated experience from the healthcare world, driven by a commitment to quality senior care services. He began his journey as an aide caring for geriatric patients before becoming a licensed physical therapist. After several years working for large-scale corporate healthcare companies, both as a physical therapist and later as an executive team member, John recognized a significant gap in the industry.
In 2011, John and his wife, Bethany (a speech pathologist), founded Haven Home Health and Hospice to do things differently. They built Haven to focus on people rather than profits, creating a mission-driven company that serves both patients and the dedicated employees who care for them.
John co-founded the In Good Company podcast because he saw a critical need to combat misinformation and guide families through the complexities of eldercare. He is dedicated to sharing expertise that helps families and caregivers avoid common pitfalls and make the best long-term decisions for their loved ones.n here
