In this episode of Suit & Scrubs, hosts Brendan and Lisa welcome therapist-researchers Zee and Juhi to discuss their groundbreaking study, which surveyed 372 home health clinicians (PT, OT, and SLP) on job satisfaction and retention. The research, soon to be published in Home Health Care Management and Practice under the title "Beyond the Visit: What Makes Home Health Clinicians Stick and Tick," reveals that while scheduling flexibility rates highly across all disciplines, documentation remains universally frustrating—except for clinicians using cell phones, who report significantly higher satisfaction. The study found notable differences between disciplines: OTs are the least satisfied (representing only 8% of the home health workforce), while SLPs rate their job satisfaction highest despite facing larger territory challenges. Through candid discussions about workplace isolation, the importance of mentorship, and knowing what questions to ask before accepting a position, the episode emphasizes that retention isn't just about pay—it's about the daily tools, support systems, and flexibility that allow clinicians to thrive in an already demanding field.

The Home Health Suit + Scrubs Podcast is your weekly dose of real talk for home health clinicians. Hosted by Dan Haggerty—a national home health therapy executive—and three seasoned home health PTs, Lisa Thompson, Dan Catuccio, and Brendan Kirby, each episode dives into the topics that matter most: safety, efficiency, clinical care, and career growth. Whether you’re a new grad or a home health veteran, you’ll find practical tips, relatable stories, and candid conversations designed to help you thrive in the field. From navigating tricky documentation to setting boundaries and staying safe on the road, Suit + Scrubs blends real-world insight with a touch of humor to make your commute between visits more useful—and more fun.

Josh Tennant, an 18-year PT veteran, joins hosts the two Dans and Lisa to share how he went from the home health grind to working just three days a week through smart Bitcoin investing. After 15 years in home health, dealing with endless paperwork and evening patient calls, Josh discovered that even with regular raises, therapists are falling behind because real inflation (6-8%) outpaces our 3% salary bumps. Five years ago, he started buying Bitcoin at $35,000, and it's now worth $122,000. He explains that Bitcoin is different from sketchy cryptocurrencies because only 21 million will ever exist, making it scarce like gold. His advice is practical: start small with automatic weekly purchases (dollar-cost averaging), use hardware wallets for security, and think long-term (5-10 years minimum). You can even invest through Bitcoin ETFs in your Roth IRA. Josh now uses his Bitcoin as collateral for tax-free loans, which fund his part-time lifestyle without selling his holdings. Bitcoin started as just 15% of his portfolio, but now makes up 75% as his confidence grew through education. His main message is that therapists work too hard and remain financially stressed, but with proper education and strategic investing, financial freedom is actually achievable. He's offering to share resources and help fellow therapists who want to learn more.
