Big news from the Betterleave team — we’re excited to announce the launch of our integration with Homecare Homebase (HCHB), introducing a fully automated bereavement communications experience for families.

According to Jim Parker’s July 14, 2025 article in Hospice News, regular text‑message communication with patients and families can measurably enhance both patient experience and key quality metrics.

This article is based on a discussion with Cara McCarty Abbott, Founder and CEO at Betterleave; Sara Nigro, Director of Partnerships at BetterRX; and Lloyd Wilson, CEO at Sonder Hospice & Palliative Care. This discussion took place on April 10, 2025, at the Hospice News ELEVATE Conference.
