The future of palliative care: who will lead, who will pay, and what comes next? | part one Teleios Collaborative Network (TCN); podcast hosted by Chris Comeaux with Brynn Bowman; 9/30/26 Palliative care isn’t struggling to prove that it works.  The bigger question now is whether our healthcare system can figure out how to deliver it to everyone who needs it—and sustainably pay for it. In Part One, Chris Comeaux sits down with Brynn Bowman, CEO of the Center to Advance Palliative Care (CAPC), for a candid look at where palliative care is headed next.  Brynn paints a compelling picture of what success could look like five years from now: a patient living in rural America should have access to high-quality palliative care just as reliably as someone living near a major health system.

AI can’t replace this: the leadership advantage that’s more human than ever | part one Teleios Collaborative Network (TCN); podcast hosted by Chris Comeaux with Dr. Andrea Hollingsworth; 9/23/26 In Part One, Chris Comeaux welcomes Dr. Andrea Hollingsworth, founder and CEO of Hollingsworth Consulting and author of The Compassion Advantage: How Top Leaders Build More Humanizing Workplaces, for a timely conversation about compassion, vulnerability, and what it means to lead well in an increasingly AI-driven world. Andrea argues that while AI can solve problems, organize information, and simulate empathy, it cannot genuinely suffer with another person—and therefore cannot offer true compassion.  For healthcare and hospice leaders working alongside people experiencing stress, grief, uncertainty, and change, that distinction matters. 

2027 trends to watch: Distributed care will drive the next phase of healthcare delivery Definitive Healthcare; by Ethan Popowitz; 9/17/26 Healthcare delivery has never been confined to a single setting. But the number of places where patients can receive care, and the range of services available outside the hospital, have grown in recent years. Today, a single patient journey might include a primary care visit, diagnostic imaging at an outpatient center, a procedure at an ambulatory surgery center (ASC), a virtual follow-up, and remote monitoring from home. ... This more distributed model of healthcare delivery is being shaped by several forces at once, from advances in medical technology and economic pressures to workforce shortages and more. 

The strategic trifecta: Aligning AI, data and cybersecurity for real outcomes McKnights Senior Living; by Adam Arker; 9/16/26 The use of artificial intelligence is the No. 1 topic in the senior living industry these days, and for good reason. AI is positioned to transform our world more than any previous technological revolution, including both electricity and the internet. ... If there’s one takeaway, it’s this: The goal for senior living providers related to AI should be to build the data discipline and security foundation that lets AI work safely, consistently and at scale. Organizations that get those fundamentals right will move faster in the long run, and they’ll be able to adopt new tools with confidence instead of constantly starting over and losing money on failed experiments.

The critical competencies hospice leaders must build for value-based care cuccess | part one Teleios Collaborative Network (TCN); podcast hosted by Chris Comeaux with Dr. Jessica Hubbs; 9/16/26 Value-based care isn’t just changing how hospice gets paid—it’s redefining what hospice leaders must be capable of delivering. In Part One of The Critical Competencies Hospice Leaders Must Build for Value-Based Care Success, host Chris Comeaux sits down with Dr. Jessica Hubbs, Chief Clinical Officer at Advanced Care Innovations, to explore the accelerating shift from fee-for-service healthcare toward models built around outcomes, total cost of care, and coordinated care delivery.  Dr. Hubbs explains why emerging models such as LEAD (Long-term Enhanced ACO Design) matter to hospice and palliative care leaders—and why the movement upstream into serious illness and home-based care could represent both a competitive headwind and an extraordinary opportunity.

How to shift from spotlight to lighthouse leadership Forbes; by Julie Kratz; 9/13/26 Leadership is no longer measured solely by individual achievements or how loudly you market your accomplishments. Instead, the trajectory of your professional growth and long-term talent retention relies on how effectively you elevate those around you. Building an environment defined by trust, equity, and sustainable performance requires a fundamental pivot in how managers view their role. ...  When leaders transition away from self-centered management styles, they elevate workplace culture, strengthen allyship, and dramatically accelerate their own career impact.

Your culture isn't what you say—it's what you tolerate | part one Teleios Collaborative Network (TCN); by Chris Comeaux; 9/926 Your organization’s culture isn’t defined by the values hanging on the wall—it’s defined by the behaviors leaders allow to continue. In Part One of Your Culture Isn't What You Say—It's What You Tolerate, host Chris Comeaux sits down with Tom Foster, President of Foster Learning Corporation and author of Premeditated Culture: The Consequences of What We Tolerate, for a compelling examination of how organizational culture is actually created.  Foster challenges a common leadership assumption: culture begins with defining what an organization believes. Instead, he argues that leaders should start by identifying the specific behaviors they want to see—because beliefs, values, customs, and ultimately culture become visible through what people actually do.
