Jessica DevineDirector of Membership Growth & Retention
Jessica Devine has worked in home care since 2014 across various provider types, including Medicare-certified home health, nurse registry, and private duty. Prior to joining HCAF, she served as the Director of Private Care for a Visiting Nurse Association, overseeing a multi-region business in conjunction with the organization's home health and hospice services. She strongly believes that home care, more than any other form of health care, enhances patient well-being by promoting independence and preserving dignity, regardless of their living situation.

Patti Heid, MSPT, COS-CSenior Director of Best Practices & Compliance
Patti Heid, MPST, COS-C, is HCAF’s Senior Director of Best Practices & Compliance. She has been a Physical Therapist for over 30 years and has worked in the home care setting for 27 of those years. She believes that nothing can compare to the rapport that one develops with a patient while working with them and their families, in their own homes, helping overcome the “real-life” day-to-day challenges that they face. Over the years, Heid has gained valuable experience by fulfilling many key roles within the home care arena, from field clinician through the management level. All these roles have given her deep abiding respect and admiration for the good that home care providers can achieve.
Patti graduated from St. John’s University in New York in 1991 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. She obtained her Master of Science in Physical Therapy degree from the University of Miami in 1993.
