Shira Hollander, JD/MPP, is a health care attorney with over a decade of experience developing policy, advocating for patients and providers, and advising hospitals, health systems, payers, and pharmaceutical companies on compliance with health care rules and regulations.

As an attorney in private practice at Latham & Watkins LLP, Shira developed compliance strategies for health care clients subject to government contracting regulations. She also advised and represented hospital, pharmaceutical, and insurance clients in matters concerning violations of the False Claims Act and regulatory issues involving CMS.

After leaving private practice, Shira joined the policy shop at the American Hospital Association, where she led AHA’s federal advocacy strategy on enabling the use of telehealth during COVID-19 and secured several flexibilities in enforcement of telehealth law. She also led AHA advocacy and member education on value-based payment and innovative delivery models.

Shira joined Medically Home in March 2022 where, along with Lisa, she designed and executed Medically Home’s advocacy strategy for legislation and regulation that supports decentralizing care from institutions into patients’ homes and preferred sites of care. Shira and Lisa’s immersive, live demonstrations of hospital at home – which Medically Home was invited twice to offer inside the U.S. Capitol – were critical to Congress Members’ understanding of and support for hospital at home care.

Shira also developed the concept for taking the hospital at home demonstrations on the road, creating the Tiny House Great Medicine experience, which includes hospital at home technology, messaging, visuals, and live connectivity to virtual clinicians. Shira has deep expertise on state regulations supporting or impeding care in the home. She used this knowledge to create and maintain the State Campaign for Hospital at Home website to provide advocacy and information for state law changes that advance care in the home.
