Dave Jacobs and David Greenberg join the podcast to discuss how Homethrive is providing their customers access to their own master’s level social worker and a digital platform to help provide care for their aging loved ones at home.

Prior to Homethrive, Dave and David both served at Medline. Dave Jacobs as President of the Durable Medical Equipment division and Medline’s Post-Acute business that encompassed nursing homes, home health, assisted living and managed care insurance. David Greenberg served as Executive Vice President of Strategy and Group President, defining and supporting strategic priorities, leading business development initiatives to strengthen the Medline portfolio, and M&A.
