Rhode Island Partnership for Home Care

02/04/2026

Today we celebrate a milestone that proves some 13s are very lucky.

Please join us in congratulating our Executive Director, Nicholas Oliver, on 13 years of dedicated leadership with the Rhode Island Partnership for Home Care. Over the past thirteen years, his steady guidance, tireless advocacy and unwavering commitment to providers, direct care and operations staff and the patients, clients and families they serve have strengthened home care, home health and hospice services across Rhode Island.

They say 13 is unlucky, but our association has clearly beaten the odds. For us, the last 13 years has meant growth, stability and a stronger voice for home care.

Congratulations Nicholas and thank you for thirteen lucky years of service. 🍀

Tomorrow night at 8:30 PM, our Executive Director, Nicholas Oliver be on 990 WBOB's The Rotunda talking how Rhode Island missed the moment through a once-in-a-generation federal funding opportunity for the Rural Health Transformation Program within the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" to bring real access to healthcare in Rhode Island's rural areas.

"From Tiverton to Burrillville and from Westerly to Foster, there are Rhode Islanders who live miles from the nearest clinic, hospital or bus stop. For these residents, many of them elderly, disabled or chronically ill, simply getting to a physician’s office can be a day-long ordeal or an impossible task. Our state’s health disparities are not just about income or insurance; they are geographic and structural. The only reliable bridge to those who are otherwise unreachable is the network of home care providers already serving on the front lines of our dilapidated health system."

If you believe that "health equity" should be more than just a political buzz phrase, tune in, share the post and feel free to submit questions.
