The American Association for Homecare (AAHomecare) added another home medical equipment (HME) industry veteran to the team. Stephanie Legree was named to a newly created project manager position. Legree has more than 20 years of experience at Binson’s Home Health Care in progressively responsible positions, including her most recent role as co-director of the business office and vice president of government affairs.
“I'm very excited for the opportunity to support all AAHomecare members and bring my unique perspective to the table,” said Legree. “I've grown up in this industry, working for my family company, I am blessed with a global understanding. We are an essential industry and I'm ready to help on a national level.”
As project manager at AAHomecare, Legree will take over primary management for several of the Association’s member-driven councils: Medical Supplies, HME/RT and State Leaders Councils, and will co-manage the Diabetes Council. She will also be partnering with state association leaders working in collaboration with our payer relations team.
“I am excited to bring another dynamic industry veteran onto the AAHomecare staff,” said Tom Ryan, AAHomecare president and CEO. “When I came on board in 2013, we had a single staffer with direct HME industry experience—Kim Brummett. With Stephanie joining the team, we now have seven team members with a first-hand understanding of our industry from service in HME.
“Stephanie understands every aspect of HME thanks to work in management, legislative advocacy, billing, operations and customer-facing roles with a multi-state, full-service HME company,” added Ryan. “In addition, we’ve seen the energy and acumen she brings to the table through her service on AAHomecare’s Regulatory Council and through her legislative advocacy work.”
In addition to her work at Binson’s and service as vice chair of AAHomecare’s Regulatory Council, Legree is currently a vice chair of the Jurisdiction B Medicare DMEPOS (durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics and supplies) Council and had previously been chair of the Jurisdiction C Council. She will work remotely from her home base of Romeo, Michigan.
