The popular 'hospital-at-home' effort is at stake in the federal budget battle
Briefly

Shane McMahon, a paramedic, arrived at Stephanie Joseph's home, part of a hospital-at-home program that offers intensive care to patients, allowing them to recover comfortably at home.
Stephanie Joseph's daughter, Ketline Edouard, said her mother preferred being at home, stating, 'She says way better, more comfortable when she's home. Way better than when she's at the hospital.'
There are now 378 hospital-at-home programs across 39 states, initiated during the pandemic, seeking to provide hospital-level care at home for eligible patients.
Mass General Brigham's program can care for up to 70 patients, which aids in expanding hospital capacity and offers patients more comfortable recovery options.
