Alliance Board President Deborah Costello, who is also Chief Operating Officer at Beth Israel Lahey Health at Home, Beverly, noted, “A Search Committee of board members conducted a national search over the past months, and selected Jake based on his in-depth knowledge of the home care industry and his insights into the critical issues facing the Alliance and our provider agency members in the coming years.”
In accepting the position, Krilovich said, “Our health care delivery system is shifting rapidly, and home and community-based services will be at the center of that transition. I am grateful for the trust and confidence the Alliance’s Board of Directors is placing in me to lead the organization into this critical juncture for our industry and membership.”
