Testimonials:

“Hospice Advisors takes the theories and principals of Jim Collins/Good to Great and Malcolm Gladwell/Tipping Point and blends them with their own remarkable business sense that creates tremendous critical thinking…this allows them to provide even greater insight and direction to those they work or collaborates with. They are decisive and influential as well as innovative and high-energy. When they say they create an environment of empowerment and accountability, they means it but it also becomes contagious and allows that approach to trickle down through an organization. Who wouldn’t want that in an organization when choosing who to work with?”

“I’ve known the principals of Hospice Advisors for more than ten years. They are creative, energetic and thoughtful leaders who is constantly pushing on the edge of the envelope. While working at Children’s Hospital I made it a habit to talk with them at least twice a month to see what ideas he was pursuing knowing he would be steps ahead of me in both innovation and execution.

Through the years I’ve also had a chance to witness firsthand their leadership in volunteer settings. As sponsorship chair for the local National Philanthropy Day (NPD) Celebration in 2001/2002 I worked on the team chaired by one of the principals. He made it fun, pushed me toward setting a new record for sponsorship and made it fun all at the same time. In my opinion, while there are many volunteers who have made NPD successful, He is the critical leader who made it possible for the event to reach the importance it enjoys today in the Detroit philanthropic community.

In a sea of professionals raising money and leading organizations, Hospice Advisors stands out as someone who consistently accomplishes goals and pushes toward new solutions with a healthy sense of humor and a focus on the art of the possible.”

“I met Kurt in Moscow back in 2008. I engaged him to help us with our concept designs for a new hospital that was being built in New Riga (suburb of Moscow). His knowledge of health care with a focus on outpatient services was extremely helpful. Through our business relationship, together we opened a Home Health Care Company called First Home Care. When in Moscow, Kurt also worked closely with several hospices in town to strength their service delivery capabilities. Mr. Kazanowski is both an excellent health care professional and business man.”

“Kurt helped Glacier Hills acquire a personal care home health company. After the acquisition he spent time working with us to develop our Marketing and Business Development Plan which helped us grow our billable hours. Kurt has also worked with me to better understand how to use hospice in our senior community to enhance the quality of care and level of services we could offer to our residences. By blending his experience as a nurse with his business development expertise he offers a unique approach and style”
