Cape Medical CEO Sheehan Meets Sebelius

SANDWICH, Mass. — Cape Medical Supply CEO Gary Sheehan got the
word out about home care to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and
Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick at a June 5 forum on health care
reform. The invitation-only event was held at Boston’s Tufts
New England Medical Center.

“I was fortunate to have Gov. Patrick call on me for a question,
and Secretary Sebelius gave a thoughtful answer about the role she
saw home care playing,” said Sheehan, who delivered a statement to
Sebelius along with supporting materials on the value home care
brings to the health care continuum. “One of my central points
centered on the Hippocratic Oath, which states ‘above all
else, do no harm.’ The government must be careful in the rush to
complete the reform process that they do not dismantle or destroy
key programs providing long-term value to patients and the
system.
