Kripa Sreepada is the Senate Finance Committee’s lead Democratic staff member for hospital at home. She works for both the committee and its Chairman, Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), who is a leading voice for senior citizens health and dignity, as well as bringing health care to the home. Kripa has an extensive background in both long term care and hospice care, which are two areas, along with hospital at home, that are very much concerned with maximizing patient autonomy and dignity in the health care context.
