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. 🍀
